in depth. On the outskirts of the main<br />
pit was a race track (1.5 miles in length)<br />
where midget cars were raced. The lake was<br />
utilised for water skiing and recreational<br />
fishing (brown and rainbow trout). A<br />
sawmill was located closer to Wairakei<br />
Road. The dragline, used to pull the<br />
shingle out of the pits, was moved to the<br />
Waimakariri Bridge about 1962.<br />
Most of the land in Bryndwr and<br />
Burnside was farmed for the first hundred<br />
years in small blocks to sheep, cattle,<br />
market gardening and orchards. In 1878<br />
the Greer homestead was built (now 302<br />
Greers Road) and was a visible landmark<br />
for miles.<br />
A church of note in Bryndwr is the St<br />
Johns Methodist Church at 49 Bryndwr<br />
Road. The church was consecrated in<br />
1927. A memorial lychgate was built at the<br />
Methodist Church dedicated to the pioneer<br />
methodists of the St Albans circuit.<br />
Waimairi School was one of the Bryndwr<br />
area’s earliest school. Originally, from<br />
1914 it was a side school of Papanui<br />
but came into existence in its own right<br />
in 1920. Waimairi School had a large<br />
number of children from two orphanages<br />
in the area – one Presbyterian, the other<br />
Methodist.<br />
