Taylorville, New Zealand
Taylorville is a small town on the banks of the Grey River, It is roughly 10 kilometers from the mouth of the river in Greymouth.[1] The local Taylorville swimming hole is popular for swimming and dog walking, but West Coast Regional Council advises against swimming in it after heavy rain due to elevated levels of E.coli.[2] Taylorville is also right next to the historic Brunner Mine site.[3] Taylorville used to be connected to Wallsend, located on the opposite side of the Grey River, with a suspension bridge for pedestrians providing a connection. The bridge washed away in the 1960s.[4] DemographicsDobson and Taylorville are defined by Statistics New Zealand as a rural settlement and cover 4.19 km2 (1.62 sq mi).[5] They had an estimated population of 660 as of June 2024,[6] with a population density of 158 people per km2.
