Edmund Allen (politician)

Edmund Giblett Allen (1844–1909) was a Liberal Party Member of Parliament in New Zealand.

[2] His sister's wedding notice[3] and his obituaries said he was from Somerset,[4] but he was said to be a Lancashire lad when he entered Parliament.

[9] He assisted with building the Hutt Valley Line in 1873,[10] and then, in partnership with Samuel[11] Kingstreet,[12] built the Waipukurau to Takapau railway from 1874.

[15][16] Since the completion of that contract Mr Allen has owned a Port Chalmers quarry and farm near Dunback.

[31] A plaque in Port Chalmers marks his part in opening the Otago Dock.
