Early settlers house



Lyttleton was the hub for settlement on the south island over 150 years ago. They place all the unsightly or noisy stuff over here so the developing city was cleaner. So the port, goal (jail), lepper colony and working classes stayed here. Christchurch was esatblished with a strict class structure. It still feels a lot like it exists here today, unlike the rest of New Zealand which is far more laid back.
