The old Peel Street bridge and the Garrison Hall. The hall provided Gisborne with its most spectacular fire when it burned to the ground.

View from Black's flats at the corner of the Esplanade and Rutene Road shows Post Office with tower (removed after the 1931 earthquake). Apparently William Pettie bridge did not exist at this time.

Two views taken from the hill at the end of Whitaker and Russell Streets show how sparsely the Whataupoko area was settled on in those days. Every available building section in these pictures has long since been utilised. The picture at left is looking across Ormond Road to the Roebuck Road bridge and what are now the Botanical Gardens. In this picture the Gardens Bridge can be seen, and there is a footway from the town end of the bridge to the corner of Aberdeen Road and Carnarvon Street, but most of the area is in use for grazing.

These two views were taken at the corner of Gladstone Road and Peel Street. The early picture at left shows Peel Street in the days when the plane trees were young, before the "Taj Mahal" was built, and with the Wi Pere monument in the centre of the picture. Tower has since been removed from 2XG building.

Maoris in ceremonial robes are heading a procession in the picture at right, on the occasion of the Peace Celebrations on November 13, 1918, two days after the Great War ended. The then-familiar horse-drawn vehicles vie with new-fangled motor cars and trucks for positions in the procession, which appears to be moving in both directions along the street.
