St Andrews Hill
St Andrews Hill is a hillside suburb in south-east Christchurch, New Zealand.
==History==
The first European owner of of the bottom of the hill was Reverend Edward Hooper Kittoe, who never came out to New Zealand, and for whom Edward Ward (eldest brother of Crosbie Ward) chose this land. The next 50 acres higher up the hill were purchased by the surveyor Robert Park, who later laid out the township of Ashburton. The land was later purchased by Major Alfred Hornbrook, who added it to his Mount Pleasant run. The Mount Pleasant run changed ownership to R. M. Morton, and upon his death, his sons Richard and Arthur Morton became the owners.
Subdivision of the land began in 1925, after Peter Trolove and Walter de Thier purchased a block of 50 acres. They put four sections up for auction that year, but only sold one of them. The new owner formed a road and called it The Brae after his home in Scotland. Further subdivision started in 1930, when St Andrews Hill Road, Te Awakura Terrace, and 45 sections were surveyed. Trolove and de Thier called their subdivision after St Andrews Links, the famous golf course in Scotland. A further subdivision happened higher up the hill when the Cannon Hill estate was bought by a syndicate in 1960.
