The island on the Avon River between Hereford and Cashel Streets, was originally the site of a flour mill built in 1859.
The original flour mill was built by Daniel Inwood in 1859 but became known as Lane's Mill after its second owner. A replica water wheel was gifted to the city by the Christchurch Beautifying Association and installed in 1998, to mark the Association's centenary.
