Kaikorai Valley

Kaikorai Valley is a long broad valley which runs through the west of the New Zealand city of Dunedin, 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) to the west of the city centre. It is the valley of a small stream, the Kaikorai Stream, which runs from northeast to southwest down the length of the valley.

The valley provides a route into central Dunedin (Kaikorai Valley Road) which avoids the steep climb and descent over Lookout Point into Caversham, instead allowing for a gradual climb to the top of Stuart Street, Dunedin before a steep drop into the heart of the city. The valley contains several suburbs, largely isolated from the city centre by the ridge which forms the valley's eastern edge. This ridge was part of the crater wall of the long-extinct Dunedin Volcano.

The valley is largely occupied by light industrial and wholesale businesses. Much of the land to the west of the valley is semi-rural; the eastern wall contains residential properties.

The valley is home to three distinct suburbs: Kaikorai, Bradford, and Kenmure, while a fourth suburb, Burnside, lies at the valley's mouth, close to the junction of Kaikorai Valley Road and the Dunedin Southern Motorway, part of State Highway 1.

Kenmure (Norfolk, Virginia)

Kenmure, also known as the William Lamb House, is a historic home located at Norfolk, Virginia. It was built in 1845, and is a three-story, three-bay, Greek Revival style brick town house. It was expanded to its three-story height in 1855. It features a central one-bay dwarf portico and a low, hipped roof topped by a three-bay cupola. Kenmure was built for William Wilson Lamb, mayor of Norfolk during the American Civil War, and later the home of his son, Confederate States Army officer William Lamb.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
