Marine Parade, Napier

Object detail

About this object

The photograph shows a view towards Cape Kidnappers with Marine Parade in the foreground. The public gardens on Marine Parade constructed after the Hawke's Bay earthquake of 3 February 1931 are visible. The image would have been taken before 1936 as the T & G building has not been constructed. The Athenaeum is visible on Browning Street. The lawn has been laid out but neither the Colonnade nor the Soundshell have been built.

Photographer, unknown.
Date, unknown. Pre 1936.
