Dating The Strand
The beginnings of the township of Tauranga are in a thin strip of beach beneath a gentle incline toward the centre of the Te Papa peninsula. As this region was built on and photographed, how do we piece together the evidence to date these early photographs? Join heritage specialist Harley Couper as we explore and mark some of the key events, buildings and industries of The Strand and Wharf Street.
