Professor Bickerton's home and the promenade, from the Wainoni entrance
[190-]
Alexander William Bickerton (1842-1929) bought a 30-acre property parallel to Pages Road. Bickerton Street now runs through the centre of the property. Bickerton created woods and gardens out of a sandy wilderness. After 1902, when he lost his position at the University of Canterbury, he turned the area into a pleasure garden, Wainoni Park, which was one of the marvels of Christchurch in the early 1900s.
