Clifton is a volcanic spur extending from Tauhinukorokio / Mount Pleasant.Шаблон:Sfn Most of Clifton was originally purchased by Dr Alfred Barker, who had applied for a Шаблон:Convert land grant from the Christchurch land office. Barker sold his land in 1872.Шаблон:Sfn The lower part of Clifton was undeveloped until 1903, when it was subdivided into 93 sections and put up for auction, as far up the hill as Tuawera Terrace, which was originally known as Victoria Terrace.Шаблон:Sfn The land further up the hill was subdivided in 1908.Шаблон:Sfn
A lower side spur, originally known as Lower Clifton, was bought in 1901 by Samuel Hurst Seager.Шаблон:Sfn Seager landscaped and divided the section into 12 plots and it was sold under the name The Spur in 1914.[1] It has been known as the Spur since.Шаблон:Sfn[2] This area is the main residential hill area above Sumner.Шаблон:Sfn
The ridge that Clifton lies upon, descends from Tauhinukorokio / Mount Pleasant to end in a coastal cliff at the western end of Sumner beach. The cliff overhangs the road between Sumner and Moncks Bay that has been built along the beach. This area by the beach is now known as Peacocks Gallop because John Thomas Peacock would gallop his horse when riding along this section of road on account of his fear of being hit by falling rocks. Earthquakes in 2011 and later in 2016 caused the cliff edge to collapse and recede so much that several clifftop houses were undermined and severely damaged, or left perched precariously on the cliff edge. Shipping containers were stacked two-high on the main road below to protect it from further rockfalls and these subsequently became an impromptu roadside art gallery.
