  • Memoir on the Public Works of the Province Of
    PUBLIC WORKS, CANTERBURY, N. S. 99 No. 1,237~.--“ Memoir on the Public Worka of the Province of Canterbury, NewZealand.” By EDWARDDOBSON, ASBOC. Inst. C.E. THEportion of the middle island of New Zealand, now known as the Province of Canterbury, wascolonized by a society entitled the “Canterbury Association,”whose fist settlersarrived in New Zealand at Christmas1850-51. TheCharter of the Association having reverted to the Crown, the territory to which it referred was included in the Province of Canterbury, as constituted by the New Zealand Constitution Act in 1853. In November, 1854, the Provincial Government of Canterbury established a Department of Public Works, which was placed under the professional superintendence of the Author,who remained in charge of the department up to the end of the year 1868. The present Memoir is intended tofurnish a history of the Public Works of Canterbury, from the establishment of the Public Works Department in 1854 to the completion of the Railways in 1868, so faras t>heir history presents points of professional interest’. Duringthe above-namedperiod the survey of the province, commenced under the Canterbury Association, has been completed by the officers of the Survey Department: the eastern portion of the provinc,e has been thrown open to settlement by the construction of many hundred miles of metalled roads ; the western goldfields have been connected with the capital by a coach-road through the passes of the NewZealand Alps-a road remarkable, both for the boldness of its design and the circumstances under which it was executed ; and a complete system of railroad has been surveyed, the key to which (a tunnel129 chains in lengththrough the crater wall of Lyttelton Harbour) has been successfully completed.

  • Pre-Emptive Rights and Wrongs Grant the Company a Block of 30,000 Acres [12,150 Hectares] on Banks Peninsula, Including the 1840S Purchases
    PrePrePre-Pre ---emptiveemptive Rights and Wrongs Helen M. Leach Brent R. George When the four eldest Pavitt brothers purchased Charles Barrington Robinson’s 100-acre block in Robinson’s Bay in the mid-1850s (Map 1), they were buying one of the oldest sections on Banks Peninsula, dating back to 1842. Robinson had been the British Police Magistrate in Akaroa from 1840 to 1845 (Ogilvie 2007:31), earning the respect of both Governors Hobson and FitzRoy. While in Akaroa, he purchased three sections of land from the Nanto-Bordelaise Company, organizers of the 1840 French settlement in Akaroa. Two of the sections (one of five-acre extent and another described as having an area of 43,875 square feet, i.e. one acre) were in Akaroa (bought on March 30 and August 27, 1842). The 100-acre block, co-owned by Robinson and William Watkins Wood (a trader from Manila), was situated just behind the foreshore in the bay named after Robinson himself. Its purchase is dated to June 3, 1842 (Hight and Straubel 1957: Appendix III). Map 1: RS 579 – diagram of conveyance Robinson to Pavitt Bros (Deeds Index 3D/133 Record 824). Note that the number 579 was added to the diagram in pencil after the original was prepared in ink. This was probably because the original document predated the allocation of the number. Charles Robinson resigned as magistrate in 1845 and travelled back to England. With his business partner Henry Smith, he organized his own settlement scheme and in 1850 chartered the ship Monarch , which was to call in at Akaroa before delivering its immigrants to Auckland.

  • Upper Riccarton Cemetery 2007 1
    St Peter’s, Upper Riccarton, is the graveyard of owners and trainers of the great horses of the racing and trotting worlds. People buried here have been in charge of horses which have won the A. J. C. Derby, the V.R.C. Derby, the Oaks, Melbourne Cup, Cox Plate, Auckland Cup (both codes), New Zealand Cup (both codes) and Wellington Cup. Area 1 Row A Robert John Witty. Robert John Witty (‘Peter’ to his friends) was born in Nelson in 1913 and attended Christchurch Boys’ High School, College House and Canterbury College. Ordained priest in 1940, he was Vicar of New Brighton, St. Luke’s and Lyttelton. He reached the position of Archdeacon. Director of the British Sailors’ Society from 1945 till his death, he was, in 1976, awarded the Queen’s Service Medal for his work with seamen. Unofficial exorcist of the Anglican Diocese of Christchurch, Witty did not look for customers; rather they found him. He said of one Catholic lady: “Her priest put her on to me; they have a habit of doing that”. Problems included poltergeists, shuffling sounds, knockings, tapping, steps tramping up and down stairways and corridors, pictures turning to face the wall, cold patches of air and draughts. Witty heard the ringing of Victorian bells - which no longer existed - in the hallway of St. Luke’s vicarage. He thought that the bells were rung by the shade of the Rev. Arthur Lingard who came home to die at the vicarage then occupied by his parents, Eleanor and Archdeacon Edward Atherton Lingard. In fact, Arthur was moved to Miss Stronach’s private hospital where he died on 23 December 1899.

  • Immigration During the Crown Colony Period, 1840-1852
    1 2: Immigration during the Crown Colony period, 1840-1852 Context In 1840 New Zealand became, formally, a part of the British Empire. The small and irregular inflow of British immigrants from the Australian Colonies – the ‘Old New Zealanders’ of the mission stations, whaling stations, timber depots, trader settlements, and small pastoral and agricultural outposts, mostly scattered along the coasts - abruptly gave way to the first of a number of waves of immigrants which flowed in from 1840.1 At least three streams arrived during the period 1840-1852, although ‘Old New Zealanders’ continued to arrive in small numbers during the 1840s. The first consisted of the government officials, merchants, pastoralists, and other independent arrivals, the second of the ‘colonists’ (or land purchasers) and the ‘emigrants’ (or assisted arrivals) of the New Zealand Company and its affiliates, and the third of the imperial soldiers (and some sailors) who began arriving in 1845. New Zealand’s European population grew rapidly, marked by the establishment of urban communities, the colonial capital of Auckland (1840), and the Company settlements of Wellington (1840), Petre (Wanganui, 1840), New Plymouth (1841), Nelson (1842), Otago (1848), and Canterbury (1850). Into Auckland flowed most of the independent and military streams, and into the company settlements those arriving directly from the United Kingdom. Thus A.S.Thomson observed that ‘The northern [Auckland] settlers were chiefly derived from Australia; those in the south from Great Britain. The former,’ he added, ‘were distinguished for colonial wisdom; the latter for education and good home connections …’2 Annexation occurred at a time when emigration from the United Kingdom was rising.

  • Seismic Ratings for Degrading Structural Systems
    205 GEOTECHNICAL ASPECTS OF THE 22 FEBRUARY 2011 CHRISTCHURCH EARTHQUAKE Misko Cubrinovski1, Brendon Bradley1, Liam Wotherspoon2, Russell Green3, Jonathan Bray4, Clint Wood5, Michael Pender2, 6 7 8 1 John Allen , Aaron Bradshaw , Glenn Rix , Merrick Taylor , Kelly Robinson1, Duncan Henderson1, Simona Giorgini1, Kun Ma1, Anna Winkley1, Josh Zupan4, Thomas O’Rourke9, 10 11 Greg DePascale , Donnald Wells SUMMARY The 22 February 2011, Mw6.2-6.3 Christchurch earthquake is the most costly earthquake to affect New Zealand, causing 181 fatalities and severely damaging thousands of residential and commercial buildings, and most of the city lifelines and infrastructure. This manuscript presents an overview of observed geotechnical aspects of this earthquake as well as some of the completed and on-going research investigations. A unique aspect, which is particularly emphasized, is the severity and spatial extent of liquefaction occurring in native soils. Overall, both the spatial extent and severity of liquefaction in the city was greater than in the preceding 4th September 2010 Darfield earthquake, including numerous areas that liquefied in both events. Liquefaction and lateral spreading, variable over both large and short spatial scales, affected commercial structures in the Central Business District (CBD) in a variety of ways including: total and differential settlements and tilting; punching settlements of structures with shallow foundations; differential movements of components of complex structures; and interaction of adjacent structures via common foundation soils. Liquefaction was most severe in residential areas located to the east of the CBD as a result of stronger ground shaking due to the proximity to the causative fault, a high water table approximately 1m from the surface, and soils with composition and states of high susceptibility and potential for liquefaction.
