That was fantastic.. never have I paused or scrolled back on a video so much ever until now.. and that was before I’d got to the end.. I used to work for Mutual Life Citizens or MLC back in the late 70’s or early 80’s and so great to see many of these buildings still standing today.. seems to be the more modern ones sometimes that don’t stand up to the earthquakes ironically. Thank you so much for posting!
Lovely to see this. So evocative. I'm 72 and remember going into Welly on the train with my mum regularly, when I was still in a pushchair.. What a lovely city, how blessed are we to live in this land.
Outstanding. I was born there in 1942. What memories I have . Will watch again later I stopped at nearly every photo. How sad I was to leave aged 8.Thank you ❤
Getting rid of the general post office 0:36 was an absolute crime. I'm sorry but the voting age population during the 1970's and 80's were the worst thing that's ever happened to NZ.
Corruption in government took hold during the 70's and 80's yes. But voting one way or the other could never stem the rot...from present day...what we've got! 🤷♂️
Thank you. Unfortunately earthquake safety requirements forced the demolition of some buildings in our CBD, especially those built on land reclaimed by Wellington City Council. There was also a practical limit to what you could do with the large multi-storey brick warehouses near Queens Wharf that were made redundant by the ISO container.

The photo at 3:05 wasn't taken in 1942 - unless The Rock FM was founded a LOT earlier than I remember!

Seeing these old photos I feel New Zealand is much older than we are taught…
