Two comments, `Harbor` is spelt Harbour in New Zealand - jetty shot with some sail craft caption in between some rugby teams shots. Presentation a bit fast for me, I like to dwell, maybe good for others?
Lovely photos and very clear. Some of your dates are wrong however. The Post Office (now the railway station at the bottom of Queen Street was opened in 1912 and the town hall in 1911. Neither was there in 1900.
You can see the style of building had never really changed in some of the suburban areas of that time. However it is very different when compared to the cities and the insanely ornate buildings that we simply cannot replicate anymore. Even back then, those buildings looks out of place. It seems too advanced even though it is ornate.
The absurdly high ceilings of those old builings, tell us Auckland is another mudflood city. Build by ancient 10 foot high Tartars and buried in the great mudflood thousand years ago. Unearthed in 1800s by enterprising settlers but their true history suppressed by successive pro-British govts
@@flamencoprof He is not trolling. Search for Baalbek and you will see evidence of giant's handy work. Those stones you see in Baalbek, no humans can lift them let alone trying to get wooden rollers underneath those things. Needs an earthquake to move those. Try and get tons of elephants to move it. Impossible.
@@dealarr FFS. There is no "mud" in Auckland. It is far from "ancient", and did not exist before 1840. The whole area is volcanic in origin. It has nothing to do with your ramblings of stones in Baalbek.
how come in the beginning it said 1980 to 1950 this video didn't show anything what Auckland looked like in the 1980s my uncle was a Sargent with the Auckland police force from the 1970s to 1988 before that my uncle served in Korea 1950 to 1953 with New Zealand Ex prime Minister (Sir Robert Moulton) because he happens to be New Zealand only prime Minister to ever serve this country During the war in North Korea and serving the county years Later as prime Minister so really the internet doesn't show us much at all I've been looking for different things for years but nothing.
I thoroughly enjoyed this,love the old photos thank you.
So much I remember here; I walked over the Harbour Bridge when it opened. My Dad drove a tram, actually the same one in MOTAT today. Thanks.
Thankyou. Agree re the speed...maybe a little slower. Overall a wonderful step back in time.
Slow down playback speed on settings
Absolutely amazing, thank you!
Wonderful! Such a great look into the past.
Great presentation but too fast. A fascinating look though at Auckland's past.

Have never been able to find any photos of those big ornate buildings under construction.

@@dealarr and I think it's been more than once... hidden technology. There's a great series on Netflix called ancient apocalypse
Amazed to see the law society building at the end there with no ivy on it, wowzers
the shot of bucklands beach from 1901 - there are several motorcars in this photo .... were motorcars this common in NZ back in 1901?
03:41 Old auckland museum second building from left. still there today. Again in 4:05
00:50 Curious. Today (Henderson) Valley Road and West Coast Road do not intersect.
I noticed that too, I imagine they did intersect at that time
Auckland, New Zealand 1930s.
Title says Auckland 1980 to 1950? Obvious typo.

@@flamencoprof How'd you just completely ignore the source of the proof? Baalbek.
@@dealarr Easily.
