Claudelands
Claudelands is a suburb directly to the east of central Hamilton, New Zealand, across the Waikato River. It is linked to the central city by the Claudelands road bridge and the East Coast Main Trunk Railway bridge.
==History==
Francis Richard Claude was an early wealthy settler who bought up parcels of mainly swampy land from the original soldier-settlers who were disgruntled with their land allocation. The only piece of land in near original state is the Kahikatea forest named Claudelands Bush adjacent to Claudelands showgrounds orininal. Originally the ground in this area was swampy but artificial drainage has dried the soil. The roots of the trees are protected by an elevated walkway which is open to the public.
Claudelands is one of the Hamilton's oldest suburbs, with a large number of bay villas and bungalows dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Although later development led to the construction of a large number of two-storey blocks of flats, the unique character of the area was deemed worthy of preservation by the Hamilton City Council. To this end, strict rules governing alteration, demolition and new development were introduced.
