Hillsborough, Canterbury
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Hillsborough is a southern suburb of Christchurch, New Zealand.
The area was first owned by Edward Garland, who called it Broomfield Farm. Garland grazed cattle on the low-lying land south of the Heathcote River, and sheep on the slopes of the Port Hills.[1] The farm was later renamed Hillsborough.[2] Much of the land on the flat is now zoned industrial.[1] Garlands Road is named for Edward Garland.[3]
There used to be many brickworks in Hillsborough at the bottom of the Port Hills.[4]
