Ashley Street, Rangiora
Some of us plan to be at the cricket in Rangiora today, a small town a short distance north of Christchurch.
Here are some views of Rangiora about a century ago. They were mailed back to England by a new immigrant involved in the retail tailoring and clothing industry.
High Street, Rangiora
The "x" on the Ashley Street postcard view marks where he lived while in Rangiora, the "x" on the far right in the High Street view, the shop he worked in. He later moved north to Tauranga and then Auckland to complete his time in the retail trade before leaving, perhaps, to return to England.
