Description: Shows view of Lyttelton looking towards the immigration barracks, John Robert Godley's house, and the Sumner Road. Shows surrounding houses including one on the hillside above the Sumner Road, with the flagpole outside it. Assumed to be by Weld because of similarity in style to depictions of Lyttleton at the same time, said to be by Weld, held at Canterbury Museum, especially one taken from the same spot and dated 1852. Note long parallel brush strokes, fence palings, ploughed fields. Likely to be slightly after 1850. Compare William Fox's Passengers by the Cressy Landing drawn in December 1850. Weld's painting shows extra buildings and the barracks of the 1850 view converted into houses. It does not show Holy Trinity Church, built and blown down in 1853, but the church might be out of sight on the left from this angle.
