A list of AMYES Birth Death Marriages in Christchurch to accompany the above journal
some residents of IRWELL, Canterbury about 1900
- in that year Irwell was described as:
... Irwell has two railway stations?Irwell and Lake Road. Irwell is in the Ellesmere district and the fertility of the land attracted settlers in the earliest days of Canterbury. The farms are in the highest state of cultivation, and everywhere the visitor sees handsome homesteads surrounded by well grown groups of shelter trees. Irwell, as a township, has a post office, a blacksmith's shop, and fine roller flour mill, a public school, churches and a creamery. The river Irwell, from which the district takes its name, has its banks thickly planted with willow trees. It empties into the lake, is celebrated for its trout, and is much frequented by anglers during the fishing season.
