Burnside

Burnside , which is an industrial centre, four miles south of Dunedin, forms part of the borough of Green Island, and is also included in the postal district of that town. It is connected with Dunedin by rail; and also by a road from Caversham, beginning with a long stretch uphill, but kept in first-class condition. From the top of the hill a fine view of Burnside, Green Island, and the Taieri plains is obtainable. The local industries include the New Zealand Drug Company's Chemical Works, the Otago Iron Rolling Mills, the New Zealand Refrigerating Company's Works, the Dunedin City Abattoirs, a tannery, flour mill, and several fellmongeries. There are two railway stations, the nearest to Dunedin being the Cattle Yards, where there are numbers of pens for the accommodation of sheep and cattle sent in by farmers and cattle dealers for sale, or for the abattoirs. The other station, Burnside, is about a mile south of the Cattle Yards. There is one hotel, but no private boardinghouse. Many people engaged in business in Dunedin live in the Burnside district, where they have built comfortable and picturesque residences.
