Description

Photograph of the Basin Reserve in 1875. The Caledonian Stand is in the centre of the image which was built in 1868 and demolished in 1923 to make way for the current Museum Stand. The canal that flowed to the sea via Cambridge Terrace, also known as the Kent Terrace stream, is in the foreground. The work needed to drain the Basin Reserve was completed by prisoners from the nearby Mount Cook Gaol.
