I've always wondered about the grand little building, and its history. Now I know! How fascinating and so well researched, thank you.Louise Maichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180983672280316433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466403878576837579.post-2890279582580071922014-04-01T01:48:16.488+13:002014-04-01T01:48:16.488+13:00I lived in Titirangi 1950 - 1966.

Fond memories of playing around this building when the Deaf School moved on. Lots of tarmac playgrounds. I remember a Mrs Bishop in Huia Road. My best friend lived in Quambi. I lived in a house my Father built at 8 Huia Rd. Thankyou for the history. Never realised the importance of the placeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00933493723758785037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466403878576837579.post-41315394368469741742013-07-29T15:55:09.100+12:002013-07-29T15:55:09.100+12:00Ta Liz!Ta Liz!Timespannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11990716041045862669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466403878576837579.post-35110014921695672772013-07-29T15:04:03.561+12:002013-07-29T15:04:03.561+12:00Literally this post is a real treasure Lisa.

I'll get onto the Dargaville crew and track down how they got part of the collection like you told me. I was thinking about those birds that he had. I still think some of Peats birds are held in the Dargaville and Districts Museum as well. So a digging I will Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100812038496671783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466403878576837579.post-88526770895189718692013-07-29T01:48:26.916+12:002013-07-29T01:48:26.916+12:00Step 1, Andrew -- go to Heritage Images Online.

I can understand why people leave or sell collections with conditions, but it can make things very difficult in later times.<br /><br />PS, I can't recall you showing us the presumably often photographed falls.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
