About this audio guide
This guide to Hagley Park North in Christchurch starts with an attendance figure from nineteen oh six that the country's own population cannot explain. It turns to the exhibition hall the architect Joseph Maddison raised on this grass, with its towers, electric lifts and a fernery under green-tinted glass. Best heard on the open lawn looking east toward Park Terrace.
