TWW Comment

The Lyttelton Immigration Barracks sat on the corner of Oxford Street and Norwich Quay and the remains of the Godley’s house were discovered during the demolition of Lyttelton’s Plunket building (due to earthquake damage) in June 2012 at number 4 Sumner Road. see: https://www.peelingbackhistory.co.nz/lyttelton-immigration-barracks-demolished-1876/ see: https://www.peelingbackhistory.co.nz/remains-of-john-robert-godleys-house-uncovered-june-2012/ see: https://www.teuaka.org.nz/news/a-painting-of-lyttelton-in-1850-by-j-gibb#:~:text=The%20house's%20foundations%20were%20discovered,office%2C%20home%2C%20and%20stables.
