Bampton's Road is a narrow shingle road, about thirty-two chains long, stretching from New Brighton Road to Cooper's Road. This is a footpath on one side without shingle on it, while on the east there is a large uncovered drain. The road is out of the city boundary and is named after Mr. Bampton, who still owns a dairy farm there. Besides dairy farms there are market gardens and orchards.

Averill Street
A chain road about a quarter of a mile in length, Averill Street, was named after Reverend Averill, who has lately announced his retirement from the archbishoprie of New Zealand, runs east from Stapleton's Road to North Parade. As the name suggests Averill Street marked a sub-division of land belonging to the Anglican Church of New Zealand. At present it is purely a residential locality. The few remaining sites being rapidly built upon. One of the houses was given as a prize in an Art Union arranged by the Christchurch Commercial Travellers — in aid of the Patriotic Fund during the 1916-1918 War.

This is also the site of one of the largest wells in Christchurch. It was sunk for the City Council — to assist the City Water Supply and will pass through a pumping station to be erected on the site in the near future; a description of which will be found in another section.
