Looking after our history

18 March 2020

Our Railway Reserve has a wonderful history, dating back to 1871.

As we construct the underpass we are mindful of this history, and are careful to preserve it where possible. During the planning stage of this project we identified a historic culvert, which is almost 144 years old.

To protect this piece of Nelson's history, we have carefully constructed protection around the culvert, so it can continue to tell its story for years to come.
