Physical Description: Black and white photograph measuring 29.5 x 36cm, on card approximately 43cm x 30cm; mount printed with title and names of team.

Provenance: The photograph was on the wall at the Wellington City Council Works Depot in Tory Street Wellington when Mr Williams worked there for the Welllington Gas Company in the 1980s. When the Works Depot was moved to Kilbirnie in the early 1990s, Mr Williams took the photograph to the new Depot, and when he left Enerco (formerly the Wellington Gas Company) in 1998 he took the photograph with him.

Mount is damaged and some parts have been broken off. Top of mount that is detached has been retained and is in folder with photograph. Other broken parts are no longer extant.
