context_page_description: Wadestown is a northern suburb of Wellington, located about 2–3 km by road from the Wellington central business district and the New Zealand Parliament Buildings.
  It is a residential suburb overlooking Thorndon and the Ngaio Gorge from the northern flanks of Te Ahumairangi Hill. The suburb is hilly and includes Weld Street reportedly one of the steepest streets in Wellington. Wadestown's streets are picturesque, narrow — 33 feet, half a chain or 10 metres, made by pick and shovel and horse and scoop.
context_section_description: Wellington's first suburb it takes its name from John Wade who arrived in Wellington in 1840 on the vessel "Integrity".  In 1841, together with another early settler, James Watt, he acquired land in the area now known as Wadestown and divided it into one and two-acre lots. South and east boundaries Wade Street and Watt Street carry their names.
