Synopsis
A pictorial smorgasbord of 176 photographs of Wellington streets as they grew and developed through the 20th century. A book of discovery for those who did not live in the days when trams ruled the streets of Wellington and, for others, a wonderful look back in time to those days, with many memories of the city and suburbs and the personality of the different decades.
Graham Stewart has brought together a unique collection of photographs, over 80 taken by himself in the early 1950s and never published before, of Wellington before the arrival of the modern city we know today.
This is a timely book which records the century and shows graphically how Wellington has grown since 1900.
It is full of nostalgia, showing the pioneer buildings, the street furniture of the past, the shops, the fashions.
It is a fascinating ride back in time which will interest Wellingtonians and everyone who has a special affection for this gem of a hilly city with so much to offer its citizens and visitors.
