Run No. 5

This was held in 1854 by Alfred George Jenkins, and used as a cattle run. As it was on the north side of the Wairau River access was difficult. Just when Jenkins took up this run is not clear, but he transferred the licence in 1857 to Thomas Carter of Hillersden.

It was known as the North Bank run, and in 1866, Carter transferred the lease to Richard Timms, who was a son of Charles Timms who farmed the adjoining Oddstone Run. Richard Timms and his brother Samuel Timms ran this run and the adjoining Hillersden Cattle Run No. 6A in partnership for a few years until forced to assign the lease to George Bennett and John Symons of Nelson, merchants trading as N. Edwards & Co.
