Scenes show the laying of foundation stones for the Petone Waterworks, and for the Baptist Church in Petone, both in 1903. There is also a view of the lecturn for St Augustine's Church in Petone, which was made by the Petone Railway Workshops.

Several photographs show the Kelburn Cable Car, the cable car tunnel and the engine room, in 1903.

Two photographs of a group of school children, the girls wearing white pinafores over dark coloured dresses.

Some photographs relate to New Zealand railways, including specific locomotives, the Rimutaka Incline with the middle rail (part of the Fell System), railway tunnels, bush railways and railway workshops and yards; and some relate to Godber's interest and work in fire fighting.
