Addington is one of the older suburbs of Christchurch, New Zealand. It was originally open grassland with patches of shrubland which soon became a working-class suburb which was heavily industrialised with factories and large premises of railway workshops built along Main South Line. It is sited 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) south-west of the city centre.[3]
As an inner city suburb, Addington has a mix of residential, retail and light industrial properties, which grew significantly after professional and commercial companies were displaced from the central city after the 2011 Christchurch earthquake.[4]
