I like how someone left flowers, I think they add to the photo |
In 1925 The Mothers Room was built.
In 1931 although the building was damaged in the earthquake it became part of Tin Town (this part was used as professional offices of which there were 22). It was an important part of Tin Town as the other buildings were joined onto this one.
In later years it was used as community rooms. With the Citizens Advice Bureau occupying a lot of it from 1987 until its closure. They actually had to evacuate quickly, it was deemed that unsafe. On the 2nd of May 2013 it closed indefinitely. Napier has been very aware of the risk and proactive of earthquakes since the Christchurch earthquake of 2011.

I noticed this tree as I was leaving it had the below plaques under it |
The cenotaph has a great sense of dignity to it.
ReplyDeleteOne can often see flowers placed at our memorial, or poppies. At the moment, given the events of a few days ago, the memorial's been surrounded by flowers.
