Cobb and Co. coach pulling out from Otira Hotel.

About this image

DescriptionOtira was originally a stop on the Cobb and Co stagecoach from Canterbury to the West Coast.
A new road was opened in 1866 between Christchurch and Hokitika leaving the way open for the Cobb & Co. coach services to run twice weekly between Canterbury and the West Coast.
The Midland Line was extended from Stillwater to Jacksons in 1894 and then Otira in 1899, when the pass was navigated by coach from Otira until the railway tunnel opened in 1923. During construction of the tunnel, Otira housed about 600 workers and their families.Map^[1]External LinkCobb and Co.StagecoachContributorHeather Newby
