- Description
View from Tinakori Hill, looking down over Thorndon, showing the Immigration Barracks, the first St Paul's Church and a single house on the shore at Oriental Bay. The view looks across the harbour towards Mount Victoria and Evans Bay. There are several dead trees on Thorndon Flat. Point Jerningham is on the left across the water, and there are six ships and several smaller vessels in the harbour. Two flags are flying close to the shore
The Hocken Library holds a lithograph (possibly a unique surviving copy) of this view, published by Jones & Bluett, Wellington, 1841. The view is taken at much the same time as Heaphy's 'Thorndon Flat, April 1841' (C-025-010)
Features marked along the top, but trimmed, so that they are all incomplete: 'n Houses' is probably Immigration Houses'; 'a Esq.r' is probably Duppa Esquire [house in Oriental Bay]; 'Church' is probably St Paul's Church; 'ia' is the end of Mt Victoria; 'Bay' on the left, is Evans Bay.
Dating: the associated lithograph was published in 1843. St Paul's Church, Museum Street, was consecrated in 1844, but possibly completed some time before 1844.
