About this object
View of Hastings Street taken from the bottom of Shakespeare Road. On the extreme right of the photograph stands the old Post Office on the corner of Hastings Street and Browning Street. On the opposite side of Browning Street stands the Bank of New Zealand. Among the businesses that are visible along the right side of Hastings Street are Ringland and Thomas (hatters and hosiers) and a hairdressing saloon. Businesses visible along the left side of the street include S E Cooper (watchmaker and jeweller), W Prebble (fruiterer), David Levi (tobacconist), The Napier Drapery Company, the Masonic Hotel, Sidey and Bain (formerly Hardy and Sidey, ironmongers), Neal and Close, H Williams (ironmonger), and R T Smythe (bookseller). Horse drawn carriages run along Hastings Street. The white carriage bearing the name S Childs, which waits in front of the Bank of New Zealand, is thought to have been the hospital bus. The two-horse carriage to the left of this vehicle is possibly the Port bus.
