Pareora West

Description

DescriptionPareora West is a rural area southwest of Timaru in South Canterbury, New Zealand. Its boundaries comprise the Pareora River on the west, Mt Horrible on the east and north, and to the south the Kingsdown and Salisbury districts.
Pareora West was originally known just as Pareora. When the Pareora Freezing Works was built, it and the surrounding town were known as Pareora East. However, the town at Pareora East eventually became known simply as Pareora and the original Pareora became Pareora West.
(From the "History of Pareora West" by B.E.Evans).
The school, Pareora West, later merged with other small schools on the Pareora West site and became known as Beaconsfield School.
