Elvaston on Colombo Street

1900

People sitting on the porch of Elvaston on Colombo Street in Cashmere.
Contributor's note: "This is Elvaston, a grand old house at 40 (later 42) Colombo Street. My great-grandfather John Lee Scott and family owned it from approximately 1890 and the family lived there until approximately 1930. In more recent years it was owned by Miss Audrey Chisnall who kept it largely in an original state. It has now been demolished due to earthquake damage. The Scott family named it Elvaston after Elvaston County Park in Derbyshire from whence they had come to New Zealand in 1870."

Contributor's note: "A family photo taken at Elvaston, 40 Colombo Street in 1900. John Lee Scott is pictured with his wife and three of their daughters, Katie, Betty and Nell and other young relatives. It is of the family of my great grandfather John Lee Scott who came from Derby to Christchurch in 1870 with his wife Elizabeth. He and a younger brother George bought a railway foundry in Durham Street through to Manchester Street and founded Scott Bros Foundry in 1872, using the Atlas symbol after the Atlas Engineering Works in Derby where he was an iron pattern maker and engineer."

Sketch of Scott Brothers' Atlas works, Manchester Street

Circa 1885

George and John Lee Scott founded the Scott Brothers Atlas Engineering and Manufacturing Works which covered one acre in Manchester Street. The chimney, 80 feet high, was the tallest in Christchurch. In 1885 one hundred hands worked at the plant. When trains were introduced to New Zealand in the 1860s, the locomotives were imported. In the 1880s the government decided that the machines should be built in the colony. Against stiff opposition, Scott Brothers, succeeded in capturing the contract.
