The premises, which stand on three-quarters of an acre of freehold, are of wood and iron, and comprise a shop, a small goods room, and a residence. Mr Pattinson was born in 1859 at Alston, Cumberland, England, where he was educated, and served a two years' apprenticeship to an analytical chemist. He arrived at Port Chalmers, in 1877, by the ship “Euterpe,” was employed for eighteen months by Mr J. F. Herbert at Ardmore station, near Tapanui, and was working at Beaumont station for four years. Mr Pattinson was afterwards on the New Zealand Agricultural Company's Waimea estate, before acquiring his present business at Edendale. He was for some time cornet soloist in the Wyndham Brass Band. Mr Pattinson was married, in 1892, to a daughter of Mr Daniel Evans, of Dipton, and has two daughters and two sons.
