Reference Code: GBR/0115/RCS/Y308B/97

Scope and Contents

211 x 143 mm. A continuation of the panorama of Wellington, the other components being Plates 93 and 95. This print shows the rising ground behind the City with the Terrace, Bolton Street, Upper Tinakori Road and Grant Road visible in the picture. The four cottages in the foreground, in Grant Road, are military quarters. It is noticeable in this photograph how the land quickly becomes less crowded away from the harbour, with small cottages and bungalows, fields and partially cleared land.
