Muritai School
Muritai School Eastbourne The Researcher Robin Carlyon went to Muritai School for all his Primary School Education 1946-1954 1897-1898 1897 8 Muratai Dorizac Elenor E Female £ 30.00 1898 7 Muratai Dorizac Eleanor E Female £ 26.50 House House means a dwelling was provided for by thee Wellington Education Board 30th January 1896 The chairman was requested to enquire as to the qualifications of Miss Dorizac, who was recommended to be put in charge of the Pencarrow aided school. 6th February 1896 Part of an article called Tea Table Topics I am not an advocate of cycling as an exercise for women as a rule, but I must confess that graceful ' wheel-women' may be counted by the score at Eastbourne, where everyone rides on cycles. The most fastidious person could find nothing to object to in the' appearance of the lair damsels as they skip airily along on their machines, while the costumes should delight the heart of Mrs Grundy. They invariably consist of well-made skirts, almost like a riding-habit, and just long enough to conceal the ankles, and either a neat blouse or a trim coat, the former being most usual on account of the hot weather. I have not seen one single knickerbocker costume even by way of exception. 22nd July 1897 Another piece from Tea Table Topics The residents of Muritai gave an extremely jolly dance at Thomas’ Hall last week. Muritai —for the information of those who are ignorant of a place which is rapidly growing in popularity —is situated little more than a mile south of Day’s Bay. -

(signed) Stephen Utick Date: 14 August 2012 iii ABSTRACT This translocational biography provides an interpretation of the life of Catholic philanthropist, colonial parliamentarian and civil engineer Charles Gordon O’Neill (1828-1900). Focusing on the two most significant elements in his life, commitment to faith-based charity and professional ambition in pursuit of an empire career in civil engineering, it also examines the balance between O’Neill’s Irish Catholic and British identities. Covering O’Neill’s life in Victorian Scotland (1828-1863), colonial New Zealand (1864-1880) and pre-Federation New South Wales (1881-1900), the biography traces the sequence and patterns of these two respective elements through a broadly chronological theme-based historiography. -

Newsletter 67, June 09
FRIENDS of BOLTON STREET MEMORIAL PARK INCORPORATED PO BOX 12 426, WELLINGTON, 6144, NEW ZEALAND http://www.boltoncemetery.org.nz NEWSLETTER No 67 JUNE 2009 Editor: David Dunsheath NOTICE OF 33rd ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 5.45 pm WEDNESDAY, 8 JULY 2009 (with refreshments from 5.15 pm) at TURNBULL HOUSE, 25 BOWEN STREET, WELLINGTON Please bring this newsletter with you as it contains essential information about the AGM. Followed by a talk by John Daniels THIRTY YEARS ON: THE CEMETERY AND THE CITY John Daniels has been on the Committee of the Friends of Bolton Street Memorial Park for almost thirty years. He is now standing down from this position, to our great regret especially as he has been the main source of conservation advice in recent years. Before retirement John was Director of the New Zealand Historic Places Trust from 1971 to 1988. His memories of the cemetery go back to the 60s when from his Bowen Street office he could observe at first hand the beginnings of the construction of the motorway through the cemetery. John has some fascinating recollections of the twists and turns of the cemetery’s story from the time it was the controversial catalyst initiating the conservation movement in Wellington, until now when it is a well-loved part of the central city’s heritage but still engenders fierce debate as to how it can best be preserved and protected. This talk should provide members with an opportunity also to have their say on John Daniels cleaning the Richardson and the cemetery’s development. -

Porritt Avenue 30 Armour Avenue Heritage Area Mt Victoria, Wellington June 2017 Contents 1 Executive summary (or brief statement of significance) 1 2 Description of area 2 2.1 Area – contents and boundaries 2 2.2 Other features 2 2.3 Archaeology 2 2.4 Setting 2 2.5 Area plan 3 3 Historic context 4 3.1 History of area 4 3.2 History and description of key structures 5 4 Assessment of heritage significance 14 5 Sources 18 1 Executive summary (or brief statement of significance) The area consists of a continuous group of eight houses on the northern side of Armour Avenue in Mt Victoria. The street was formed following the 1894 subdivision of a Brougham Street property owned by local resident Catherine Gray. The area’s close proximity to town meant the sections were snapped up by those wanting to build their own homes as well as speculative builders. All the houses were built between 1897 and 1903, highlighting how colonial suburbs grew streets at a time. This was at the tail of the suburb’s original development; subsequent growth was mainly through land-use intensification. In common with most housing in Mt Victoria, the Armour Avenue group comprise a mix of one and two-storey timber structures, of varying sizes and sited on rectangular sections with narrow street frontages. A few of the houses were architecturally-designed, but most came from pattern books.
