# Charleston: Its Rise and Decline/Appendix/Street Directory

APPENDIX
with
STREET DIRECTORY.
SURVEY PLAN, 1866-1867.
The town was partly surveyed by Mr. A. Greenwood, in 1866, and partly by Mr. G. R. Sayle, in 1873. It is evident that Mr. Greenwood’s plan was available for reference and use about 1867; and Mr. Sayle’s completed plan about 1874, when Crown Titles were granted. A photo-lithographed plan was issued from Wellington in December, 1880, a copy of which is given herewith.
The titles to the lots on the plan were issued during the years 1874 to 1878. These titles were grants under the Nelson Waste Lands Act of 1863, the 1872 amendment thereto, and the Waste Lands Act of 1874. The names of the original Crown Grantees are shown in the accompanying Street Directory. The land around Charleston was in Square 137 of the Nelson Land District, divided into sections of varying acreage, of which many Crown Grants and Leases are recorded.
The construction of roads and streets was undertaken by the Nelson Provincial Council and the cost met, wholly or in part, from Goldfields’ Revenue. It will be realised that owing to much rebuilding, removal of premises, etc., accuracy and completeness cannot now be assured.
