A fascinating of photographs from the first half of the 20th century that make for a lively look back at Taranaki. The images - which include the occasional glimpse from later in the 20th century - provide intriguing comparison with the present day and show something of the origins and development of the region.

Here one can see the look of the original main streets, the early businesses and civic buildings, the region's people at work and play.Many of the vistas will be familiar, others less so. Many of the photographs have never been published before.
