- Description
Aerial view of the Porirua area including Porirua Harbour, Titahi Bay and the western coast. Porirua Hospital can be seen in the foreground. Photographed by an unknown photographer in about 1950.
Library client suggested that ca 1950 was a more correct date than the ca 1920s originally assessed for this photograph. The reasons that he gave for this deduction were - (1) The old hospital building built 1891-1900 is abscent. This had been damaged in the 1942 earthquakes, and was demolished in 1943. (2) A ramp bridge is under construction that was opened by the Queen in 1953. (3) There is no causway on either side of Porirua Harbour. These were built in the early 1950s. (4) There are no Austrian state houses at Titahi Bay. This construction began 1953/1954.
