My bad. I shouldn't be reading these maps on my phone. It seems Merivale road was actually called "Merivale stone road".
Its route has always been the same. The diagonal bit was likely to avoid the hills - one being the current quarry and old ski hill and the other the city view Hill
(Now on Meadowlands). It's a very old road so avoiding Hills was better for the horses as well as anyone walking.
