In 1872 Robert Lawson designed the Knox Church in Dunedin in the 13th Century Gothic Style, the second Church on that site as a more permanent place of worship for those seeking fortune in New Zealands biggest gold rush for the sum of £17,757. 

In or around the 1970's James Gibbons supplied the floor springs used in the buildings Halls.

In 2019, I have been contacted by Dr Chris Bloore to help with the source and supply of a strap insert for the broken one as can be seen in the picture below.

    As there is so little information out there with regard to door closers, especially vintage and antique model floor springs, I thought I would start this blog.
