From the New Zealand History website: "In August 1

From the New Zealand History website: "In August 1946 Christchurch City Council formally approved a proposal by the Papanui RSA and the Papanui Beautifying Association to plant trees in memory of fallen soldiers in selected streets of that suburb.
The streets chosen for the purpose were Alpha Avenue, Claremont Avenue, Condell Avenue, Dormer Street, Gambia Street, Halton Street, Hartley Avenue, Kenwyn Avenue, Lansbury Avenue, Norfolk Street, Perry Street, Scotson Avenue, St James Avenue, Tomes Road and Windermere Road. It seems likely that memorial trees were also planted in Tillman Avenue and St John’s Street (now Blair Avenue), although these have not always been recognized as memorial avenues."

Have you seen this chapel on Windermere Road? It's

Have you seen this chapel on Windermere Road? It's one of the last remnants of Loreto College, a Sisters of Mercy boarding school for primary-aged boys which opened in 1930. There's now a community organisation on the site, and the chapel remains in use as a youth and community space while awaiting funding for repairs and improvements. Today the chapel carries the name Hine Atawhai, acknowledging and preserving the link to the Sisters of Mercy.
