1933 Chatham Cup
The 1933 Chatham Cup was the 11th annual nationwide knockout football competition in New Zealand. The competition was run on a regional basis, with eight regional associations (Auckland, Walkato, Wellington, Manawatu, Buller, Westland, Canterbury, and Otago) each holding separate qualifying rounds. Auckland's YMCA entered the cup in late May only to withdraw a week later. An entry from the Poverty Bay Football Association (PBFA) was withdrawn in late June after a meeting of the executive in Gisborne. Following the Wellington region semi-final fixture between Waterside v Swifts, a protest from the Swifts in regard to the ineligibility of Waterside player, Baistow was lodged with, and later upheld by the NZFA, the match was replayed as a result.

The Basin Reserve (commonly known as "The Basin") is a cricket ground in Wellington, New Zealand. It has been used for Test matches, and is the main home ground for the Wellington Firebirds first-class team.

Denniston, New Zealand
Denniston is a small settlement, 15 kilometres (9 miles) east of Westport, on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand. It is situated on the Denniston Plateau, above sea level in the Papahaua Ranges. It is named for R. B. Denniston, manager of the first major mine to open on the West Coast in the 1870s. During the first few decades of the 20th century, up to 1400 people lived in the townships on the Denniston Plateau to service the large coal mines there. Coal was transported in railway wagons from the plateau via the Denniston Incline to Conns Creek, where steam locomotives of New Zealand Railways took coal trains to the port of Westport. The Denniston Incline closed in 1967. The plateau now has a population of fewer than 10 people, and virtually all the buildings and structures are gone, although many historical relics remain – scattered throughout the plateau and incline area amongst the scrub vegetation. The open-cast Escarpment Mine Project was established ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mining and incline Despite its elevation of 300 metres being considerably lower than that of Denniston (600 metres), the steep grade between the coastline and Millerton still meant that the coal was difficult to get down from the hilltop to the coastal railway near sea level. The Westport Coal Company built the Millerton Incline in 1891 and the Millerton Mine began production in 1896. Minin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
