This book is the first general history to be written about the Christchurch suburb, Papanui. It traces its industrial, architectural, educational, religious and recreational history and concludes with a chapter on the effect of the earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. Due attention is paid to the individuals who helped to shape the development of Papanui over 160 years. There are over 100 photographs, many of which have never before been available in the public domain.
