By: Brees, Samuel Charles, 1810?-1865

Reference: A-179-013

Description: Shows the Maraenuku Pā [Makaenuku] in the Hutt Valley. Five British soldiers stand in the right foreground, watching Maori with bundles leaving the pa and walking towards a canoe near the water at the left. The palisades around the pa have carved upright posts. The pa was located on the east bank of the Hutt River, close to the present Melling Bridge. Brees mentions that Makaenuku Pa was built by Porirua Maori after 1840. Date is likely to be 1845, since the soldiers shown did not occupy the Hutt Valley until 1845. The original watercolour used as a basis for the published steel engraving in Brees' "Pictorial illustrations of New Zealand", (1847), Plate 18. Other Titles - Makahinuku Inscriptions: Verso - bottom left - Natives preparing to leave the Hutt; Recto - bottom left - Makaenuku Pa - Hutt Quantity: 1 watercolour(s).

Reference: PA1-q-193-090-1

Description: Scene near Poho O Rawiri, showing the Turanganui river in the background. Waka, whaleboats and sled houses may be seen in the distance. Photograph talen ca February 1866, probably by William Leonard Williams. Inscriptions: Album page - above image - Poverty Bay; Album page - beneath image - Tura[nganui ?]ort Photograph taken near Poho O Rawiri. The pa at that time stood much closer to the Turanganui River. The sled houses were brought in from outlying districts in early November 1865. Leonard was living nearby at Waikahua cottage at this time, and could have taken the photograph before he left the district prior to the battle at Waerenga A Hika. It would be safer to assume, however, that the photograph was taken on his return in February 1866. (information from Sheila Robinson, Gisborne Museum & Arts Centre.
