A Ngati Mamoe and Ngai Tahu Trail Once Crossed This Land
A plaque at Cashmere Village Green, standing in Cashmere. The words below are the register’s own transcription, the casing, the spelling, the typos.
A Ngati Mamoe and Ngai Tahu trail once crossed this land on the way from Putaringamotu (Riccarton Bush) to Rapaki and Ohinetahi. This route was part of the network of trails that linked the settlements on the plains with those on Banks Peninsula. / The cave above Sherwood Lane was known to Ngai Tahu as Matuku-takotako. It served as shelter for people travelling between the Peninsula and the Plains. This area was the site of a skirmish between Ngai Tahu and Ngati Mamoe in the mid-eighteenth century. / HERITAGE CHRISTCHURCH

A plaque of Christchurch, standing at Cashmere Village Green in Cashmere, one record on the council’s plaque register for the public estate.
The words above, verbatim, the surveyor’s transcription, casing, spelling and typos as they were read off the plaque. The register does not say who the name belonged to; the dedication is the whole of the record.
5 plaques on the register share this ground, the others are linked above.
The register marks it in service, commissioned 2003. The books' word, though, a plaque may have weathered since the survey, and the pin is the record’s position.
The record behind this
Christchurch City Council’s open data, the Furniture service’s Plaque layer. The inscription is the surveyor’s transcription; "In Service" is the books, not a promise the plaque still reads clean today. The pin is the record’s position on the layer.
