At right in the foreground is the sundial, the first feature in the new gardens, designed by architect J A Louis Hay and gifted by J R Kirk, a former Mayor of Gisborne, who was impressed by the spirit of rehabilitation following the earthquake of 1931. Underneath the photograph Ernest Sinclair has written: Napier in the making again. New - Marine Parade - Napier.
