Description
Colorized photo from 1908
Original title: The Square, looking south towards Manawatu Stables
Location:130 Broadway Ave, The Square, Palmerston North, NZ
This place is called "The Square", which is actually more like "A Rectangle".
This was a place where you could hang out in the park, get a pedicab, and buy all sorts of wonderful things. The motif interestingly enough, looks a lot like the old west did in the US. Collinson & Cunninghame later on became a large mall roughly in this area, closed in the 1960's I believe. Many of these buildings were made in the 1880's.
We are currently standing on the street known as Broadway Ave, looking towards Coleman mall.
