Richmond Village History<\/strong>
\nhttp:\/\/www.peelingbackhistory.co.nz\/richmond-joined-the-greater-christchurch-1st-november-1890\/<\/a>
\nOn 1st November 1890, Richmond joined the Greater Christchurch and came under the care of the C.C.C. It was the first borough to do so outside the main Town Belts (our main four Avenues).
\nHungarian settler, Morice Bing bought 200 acres just north of the Avon River (near Stanmore Road) in the early 1860s. He turned his land into a sheep farm and became an expert at classing wool at the Addington Stockyards. When Bing began to sell off his land, the area became known as Bingsland \u2013 the term first appearing in the papers in 1869.
\nBingsland resident, Joseph John Anderson was a civil servant who also served as a member of the Christchurch East School (pictured) Committee. When this new educational district opened, a name change to \u2018Richmond\u2019 was suggested by Anderson as the name was more \u2018\u2026high-sounding and classic\u2026\u2019 than Bingsland. The name change became official on 28 June 1882.<\/p>\n

\n1987 CCC Report: “Richmond Neighbourhood Improvement Area”
\n\u201cThis report was prepared by the Christchurch City Council and published in 1987. The document consists of nine sections and includes descriptions of the Richmond area as it was in the late 1980s, as well as suggestions for improving the appearance, function and traffic flows in and around the area. So, it is an interesting snapshot of Richmond as it was thirty years ago as well as an insight into the thinking at the time, of people seeking to improve the area.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nHeritage New Zealand | Initial Heritage Assessment for Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority
\nRICHMOND RESIDENTIAL RED ZONE
\nHeritage New Zealand File No.33002-278 | 23 February 2015
\n\u201cHeritage New Zealand\u2019s advice does not represent a full assessment of M\u0101ori heritage and other values and we strongly recommend that direct consultation is undertaken with Te Runaka o Ngai Tuahuriri and Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu.\u201d
\n\u201cThere are currently seven archaeological sites recorded in the New Zealand Archaeological Association site recording scheme (Archsite) in the area of the Richmond Residential Red Zone.\u201d
\n\u201cThe streets and houses of the Richmond residential red zone were arranged around the Avon River\/Otakaro which is therefore an integral element of the area\u2019s history and landscape.
\nThe river has high historical significance for supporting transport, industry and recreation, and as a food resource for Maori and Pakeha settlers.\u201d
\n\u201cPrior to the Canterbury Earthquakes Richmond had special character for its streetscapes of nineteenth and early twentieth century cottages, villas and some substantial houses, as well as later villas and bungalows.\u201d
\n\u201cHeritage New Zealand recommends that:
\n– consultation is undertaken with Te Runaka o Ngai Tuahuriri and Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu to ascertain their views and provide input into the redesign of their cultural landscape;
\n– landscaping and redevelopment plans incorporate views to and from the Avon River\/Otakaro and the river corridor as a measure of acknowledgement that the river remains a key feature of the area\u2019s Maori and Pakeha heritage;
\n– consultation is undertaken with the Avon Otakaro Network and other relevant community groups;
\n– the W. A. Sutton house and garden at 20 Templar Street is repaired and retained in its current location. To support this recommendation Heritage New Zealand will consider inclusion of the
\nW. A. Sutton house and garden in the New Zealand Heritage List\/R\u0101rangi K\u014drero;
\n– CERA supports and encourages the Christchurch City Council, as owners of the Glade Avenue and Templar Street pumphouses, to repair the buildings and retain them in situ;
\n– the stories of the Richmond, its demolished heritage places and archaeological features\/records are incorporated in landscape development and rebuild plans.
\nHeritage New Zealand can supply further information and content to support this recommendation;
\n– landscaping and redevelopment plans are sensitive to the scale and heritage values of Avebury House, situated adjacent to the residential red zone at 9 Evelyn Couzins Avenue;
\n– current and future owners be made aware that work affecting archaeological sites is subject to the archaeological authority process under the Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga Act 2014.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nMana Whenua \/ Ng\u0101i Tahu Interests:<\/strong>
\nThe whole of Area 15 is shown as a culturally significant zone and is part of a larger Ng\u0101i T\u016b\u0101huriri takiw\u0101 area of interest. Mana Whenua and Ng\u0101i Tahu strongly recognise the relationship of this area with Te Ao T\u016broa (Natural Environment), ecological values and the water. This area also has significant Mahinga Kai values.
\nArchaeology and Heritage:<\/strong>

Accordingly, there is potential for further items or sites of archaeological value to be discovered.
