About this object
The photograph shows Hastings Street, Napier after the devastating 3 February 1931 earthquake and subsequent fire. The tram lines can be seen embedded in the tar seal. The road has been partially cleared of debris to allow vehicle and public access. There is a convoy of cars being driven down the road. Very little remains of the buildings other than the exterior walls. Hannahs building is on the extreme left. Browning Street runs in front of it.

Photographer, Cyril Walter Lambourne.
