Prohibited from living in the Lawrence township the Chinese miners arriving during the Otago gold rush in the 1860's set up camp outside of the township . Today the site is known as the' Lawrence Chinese Camp' and has historic importance.
A Trust was formed to protect and restore the camp.The Joss House , was recently returned to the site. The Chinese Empire Hotel and the Stables urgently require restoration and reinstatement of the bar.
