Looking for information about this factory which was started about 1869 with all employees being imported mainly from Scotland. I believe an ancestor John Falconer was a tinsmith in this factory. All information very welcome. Thank you Helen Turner

Have been doing a bit of searching. It was originally called the New Zealand Meat Preserving Company and said to have been the first Preserving Company in new Zealand. In 1901 the premises were leased By an O W Oldham and it became the Woodlands Packing and Canning Co. And they also canned rabbit. I will take your advice and contact the Invercargill Library Archives.

Another thought I had - could you be meaning the canning factory at Winton. It was in Gap Road and run by 2 sisters by the name of Thompson they also had a cordial factory in Winton. By the way they canned Rabbits. We could do with something like that again. They were good eating.
