## What was here — Cranmer Square and Setting
*128 m away · 1P Cranmer Square · located to ±119 m · [the place’s own record](https://www.chch.live/place/50)*
- In the winter of 1869 the City Council fenced Cranmer Square — the works committee had fencing plans prepared in July, and the fortnightly works return at the end of August records men "erecting posts for fencing Cranmer Square". — CHRISTCHURCH CITY COUNCIL. (Star, 27 July 1869) (https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/TS18690727.2.6), 1869-07-27T00:00:00.000Z
- In January 1882 the promoters Joubert and Twopeny asked the City Council for the use of Cranmer Square to erect buildings for an international exhibition they planned to open that April. — THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. (Star, 14 January 1882) (https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/TS18820114.2.21), 1882-01-14T00:00:00.000Z
- At an informal council meeting on 13 January 1882, Twopeny said the promoters would sign a bond to give the square back "in exactly the same condition as it was before" and would not injure any of its trees; he asked for Cranmer rather than Latimer Square because money had just been spent laying Latimer out. — THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. (Star, 14 January 1882) (https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/TS18820114.2.21), 1882-01-14T00:00:00.000Z
- The exhibition never came to Cranmer Square. When it opened in April 1882 its buildings stood in Hagley Park, on the angle formed by the junction of the Riccarton and Lincoln roads. — THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION AT CHRISTCHURCH. (Timaru Herald, 12 April 1882) (https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/THD18820412.2.15), 1882-04-12T00:00:00.000Z
- By the early 1900s the houses around Cranmer Square ran heavily as lodging and boarding houses — the Star's columns carry years of boarders wanted, rooms to let and servants sought addressed to numbers 2, 3, 10, 20, 22 and 30. — Page 6 Advertisements Column 1 (Star, 14 January 1905) (https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/TS19050114.2.62.1), 1905-01-14T00:00:00.000Z
