This is Heretaunga School in 1910. I think that is Eric sitting next to the master in the second row.

Havelock North today. I took this photo in 1979. It wasn't possible to get the same angle as the older photo as the garden is now in the way. This the front of the house, seen from somewhere behind where David and Eric were sitting on their horses by the carriage. |

North verandah 1979. The back half of the house was cut off in about 1914-15 shortly after the Gregories sold the property. Believe it or not, but in the early 70s the present owner applied to the Hastings Fire Brigade to burn it down. This was granted and done. What a waste of valuable timber. A tastefully pastel-shaded crapalux wedding cake has been built in its place. It leaks. |
