Pictures from the Past
From Mr Wallie Ingram, Auckland, here are another three oldies.
From Mr Ivan O'Connell, Fox Street, we have this picture of Martin's Cordial Factory taken in 1921. It is a far cry from the modern cordial factory of today. Note the old-time truck for delivery.
George Powell (Te Karaka) was the big wheel and Gisborne's best motorcyclist around 1920. This pic was taken on New Year's Day, 1920. George did a lot of riding at the big meetings on a track which was part of the old racecourse where Rugby Park is now situated.
Two shots from the Peace Day celebrations to mark the end of the 1914-18 war. The parade was held in 1919, 52 years ago. Note the "vintage" cars in the picture at right.
