Many years ago there was a cache at this old cob cottage. That cache was our first ever find. The location was fenced off for years following the 2011 earthquakes.
From the text about the cottage of the original cache:
This is a little known Christchurch historical site as there are no signs to indicate its existence. The original building was built in the 1860's by Captain James Penfold.The story goes that after his schooner ran aground on the Sumner Bar, Penfold helped construct the Ferrymead railway line and then built this place with timber framing that came from the wreck. After falling into disrepair the building was reconstructed in the 1940s by Ernest Parish.
The cache is located at S43 33.(A+C), (B+D), (A+B+C) E172 42.(B+C),(B+C),(C+D+D)
where:
AB = the total number of window pans in the remaining original windows. Note, if some scumbag has broken one count the space too.
CD = the total number of big black structural strengening bolts
The cache is a short walk away.
