Food
Let’s Go Shopping – Necessity or Luxury?
The front page of the first issue of the Lyttelton Times on 11 January 1851, like many newspapers of the time, printed advertisements, not news stories on its front page.
Visit this link to the Christchurch City Libraries website where you will see an image from the front page of the Lyttelton Times. Look at the advertisements and imagine what it would be like to have to make choices for your shopping list.

- What choices would you make for setting up your new life beyond the first few weeks?
