[edit] History
The stables were built for P.C. Neill in 1880 [2]. The stables housed Dunedin's business men's horses. The building is constructed of basalt. The stables no longer houses horses but is used for a venue for private and public events.
[edit] Location
The stables are located in Chingford Park which is named after the stables. Chingford Park hosts the Leith Valley Harrier Club, the Dunedin Archery Club, a children's playground, and a permanent orienteering course. This area was once Neill's property [2]. Lindsay Creek, a small stream which runs the length of North East Valley, runs through the park.
