The Original Buildings of Cashmere Primary

By Charlie Murray and Conrad Fleischmann

We are doing this because we want to capture heritage

about our school. We felt that these buildings would be a

good topic because they are going to be knocked down

soon. Also because we go to the school we can get information easily.

Why we are doing this?

• The buildings are over 80 years old• They were the second lot of buildings built in cashmere

primary • The first buildings built at cashmere have already been

knocked down• These classrooms used to be open air classrooms• They were not originally joined together until renovation was

made about 20 years ago

ChristchurchPast to Present

LyttletonLyttleton was the first town to be founded in the Canterbury area, and was where many of the settlers from England first made their home, because of the amount of reasonably flat land in the township and in the surrounding areas, it was decided that Lyttleton was an ideal place for a Church of England colony. Although later, with the opening of the summit road, it became possible for Christchurch to become reality; but Lyttleton still had the largest population until it was surpassed by Christchurch in 1853.

Christ’s College

Summit RoadWhile many of you probably may rarely or

never use this road, it is Christchurch’s oldest road, and helped significantly with the

growth and construction of Christchurch. This road has mainly been used for people

to travel across the Port Hills to Christchurch and occasionally transporting

building supplies, but large barges were usually used for this, using the shipping

route shown in green.

Christs CollegeChrists College is New Zealand's oldest and

most prestigious school. Christs College began in Lyttleton as a school for the

settlers, but in 1850 when work on Christchurch had just started, Christs

College relocated to a site in the heart of Christchurch and has remained there ever

since.

Botanical GardensIn 1864 the Canterbury Horticultural and Acclimatization Society was founded and

decided to establish a Botanical Garden in Hagley Park, and decided to use the land known as the Government Domain as the

location.

In 1873 the first tree was planted in the Botanical Gardens to mark the wedding of

Prince Albert to Princess Alexandra of Denmark.

City SquareWhile many of you think of the City

Square as the home of the Cathedral, it was originally planned as a park for the Central City, but following a decision by

the Canterbury Association in 1961 which dedicated the Square to the

Church of England which wanted to build a Cathedral there, the City Square is now

home to one of Christchurch’s Landmarks, the Cathedral which opened

in 1863.

Hagley ParkHagley Park was included in Godley’s City Plan of Christchurch as a large open space

where anyone can come for a walk, play sport such as Rugby on the Rugby Fields,

Netball or play almost any other sport. Hagley Park is New Zealand's most used

park, and will probably remain that way for a very long time.

1903

Tram ServiceThe Christchurch Tram Service was

officially opened in 1905 when Christchurch was in need of Public

Transportation, as Christchurch had grown exponentially over the last 25 years; but stopped 49 years later,

when buses became more commonplace as they were cheaper

and faster. However, in 1995 the Tram Service returned to the Central

City as a tourist attraction.

Hagley Golf LinksHagley Golf Links, Christchurch’s oldest golf club was established

in 1897 in North Hagley Park; and is currently one of the city’s most popular golf courses, even thought it is often criticized for its

quality

CathedralThe Christchurch Cathedral officially

opened in 1873 after 9 years of Construction, but was not finished

until 1904, and is home to the Anglican Church of Christchurch.

Lancaster ParkLancaster Park was established in 1880 by Cricket Canterbury, and

officially opened in 1882.In 1911 Canterbury Rugby became joint owners of Lancaster Park; and in 1919 the Government purchased

the Park.

Canterbury CollegeCanterbury College (now known

as Canterbury University) was the second university founded in New Zealand; it was created because Christ’s College was dissatisfied

with the lack of higher education in Canterbury.

Lyttleton TunnelLyttleton Tunnel was created

to reduce the number of barges needed to transport

goods to Christchurch; it opened in 1964, and at 1.9km long, it was New

Zealand’s oldest and longest tunnel.

Mona ValeMona Vale was originally

purchased in 1905 by Annie Quayle who named the property

‘Mona Vale’. After her death it was proposed that the site be

demolished and subdivided, but after many applications to the

council. The council bought the land for $134,600 and is now one of the city’s most treasured assets.

Christchurch AirportChristchurch Airport opened in 1940 as a Domestic Airport, but became the first International

Airport in New Zealand in 1950, and is currently undergoing a $200 million upgrade which is scheduled

for completion in 2009.

2607.

two wildlife reserves around Christchuch, the other being Willowbank Wildlife Reserve.

QEII offers a Swimming Pool, Basketball Court, Golf Course and much more. It underwent a 31.7

Science and Technology that opened in 1992 in the old Railway Station, and changes exhibits every three to six months. Science Alive permanently

houses a Vertical Slide, Climbing Wall, Gyroscope and Glow-in-the-dark Mini
