About this object
A photograph documenting damage at Ahuriri after the 1931 Hawke’s Bay Earthquake.
The photograph appears to depict a former industrial site.
There are twisted beams and machinery in the centre of the image. There is a bicycle leaning up against the detritus of the industrial ruin.
There are several buildings still standing in the background. The photograph is possibly taken from Coronation Street.
The Bluff Hill is visible in the background of the image with its attendant buildings.
Photographer: Dave Williams.
