Councillor Joseph Illingworth

Councillor Joseph Illingworth was elected to the Sumner Dorough Council in 1902. He was born in Canterbury, and was brought up to farming. Mr. Illingworth resides on his farm on the Sumner-Lyttelton Road. His fruit garden of twenty acres is recognised as one of the chief attractions of Sumner, and is much frequented and patronised by visitors from all parts of Canterbury. Mr. Illingworth has one of the finest vinerles in the colony, and the grapes he grows are second to none. Besides the orchard, Mr. Illingworth farms 120 acres of land. Tomatoes grown on his sunny slopes mature a month earlier than those grown on lower ground. A visit to Mr. Illingworth's farm daring the fruit season will well repay the visitor.
