About

An original copy of this masthead from 143 years ago, this is not a facsimile.

The Lyttelton Times was the first newspaper in Canterbury, New Zealand, publishing the first edition in January 1851, established by the Canterbury Association. James FitzGerald was the newspaper's first editor, and it was FitzGerald who in 1861 set up its main competitor, The Press, over the Lyttelton Times' support for the Lyttelton Rail Tunnel. In 1935, it was The Press that won the competition for the morning newspaper market in Christchurch; the Lyttelton Times was the oldest newspaper in the country when it ceased that year.
