It's often difficult to remember what was there originally .. a lot of history can be wiped out by a bulldozer in 15 minutes.
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see what the space becomes. I hope you will update when construction is finished!
ReplyDeletePetrus, for sure. Especially considering it takes a lot more than 15 min to build the thing, and a whole lot more than one tradesman to build it. Sad, isn't it....
ReplyDeleteSherry, I'll try to remember that! (Probably a boring old shop or something, though...)
Oh! Every thigs are changing.
ReplyDeleteMeg, I have a photo taken a little more elevated from just a little further down the road of this exact spot. If I recall this is the Nelson Girls College. From the angle I have taken it looks like these properties are part of the college and maybe built 1940's or newer. It would be tragic if the 1900-1930's bungalow to the left goes the same way!

ReplyDeleteLesley, the background is the Girl's college, but the demolished house/s were private residences. Do you have a digital photo? Would you like to send it to me to I can post and compare?
ReplyDeleteMeg, I have sent the photo I have to your info@megweaves.co.nz address. It is not a very good before comparison shot though, due to the distance and angle but you can see where the houses are/were better by blowing up the picture.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Lesley Expat Kiwi
Thank you, Lesley. We decided it was too difficult to see which ones were demolished, but we thank you nevertheless.
