The land for the hospital had been bought from the Cracroft Wilson estate by the North Canterbury Hospital Board in the 1930s. Construction began in May 1952 and the hospital was opened 31 Aug. 1959 by the Governor-General, the Viscount Cobham (1909-1977) and officially named The Princess Margaret Hospital. At one stage it was assumed that it would become Christchurch's main hospital but it was too far from the town centre. In 2004 the hospital cares for older persons and people with mental illnesses.

Next was the Middle Hospital which admitted only women and was in the form of small detached huts holding only one or two patients. Next came the Upper Sanatorium which was originally built for soldiers but later admitted civilians. On the highest level was the Fresh Air Home for Children where children whose parents had the disease stayed.

She kept a few cows and gave away milk and butter to needy people. This annoyed one of the local borough councillors who was also the main supplier of milk to Sumner. He felt she was taking business away from him and so arranged for the Townend dairy to be condemned as substandard. The irate Mrs Townend decided to leave Sumner in 1911, taking her house with her. The removal contract was given to W.H. Williamson, founder of W. Williamson Construction Co. Ltd., who used two traction engines to draw the house along Ferry Road, across to the hills and up Dyers Pass Road to Macmillan Avenue where it was sited in two separate sections across the road from one another.

The rugged and sometimes dramatic topography creates opportunities for exploration and movement which are unavailable on level ground. Freedom from urban development, a variety of natural features and uncrowded open space combine to form a major recreational resource of a size and quality seldom found within city boundaries.

The following is a report on future management requirements covering the Port Hills reserves administered by the Christchurch City Council. These reserves together with brief legal details are listed in Appendix 1 with maps of most of the reserves included as Appendix 1A. The report is one of the special projects identified to be undertaken for the Parks Unit in 1992/93. The main aim of the report has been to address the practical and more basic issues of management and to provide a management guide for field staff. At the same time some attention has been given to longer term goals and policies that could be appropriate for the reserves and wider issues of the Port Hills impacting on the reserves.

By using an elevated viewpoint, Doris Lusk has emphasised the structure of the rounded hills broken up by small gullies, and captured the broad expanse of the Canterbury Plains. She has simplified the landscape to its basic elements, placing an emphasis on the underlying structure of the valley rather than on what occupies the land. In this approach Lusk was influenced by the paintings of her contemporary, Colin McCahon (1919 -1987), who stayed with her and her family in 1948. ….
