About this object
This photograph depicts a street view from Marine Parade, looking through to Hastings Street. The rubble in the foreground is from buildings destroyed by the Hawke's Bay earthquake of 3 February 1931 and the Napier Post Office can be seen in the background, burnt from the fires after the quake.
The Napier Post Office was and still is on the corner of Hastings and Dickens Streets.
A Norfolk Pine can be seen in the the top part of the frame.
There is a man in the foreground who appears to be breaking up concrete.
Photographer unknown.
