Seeking Harbour Bridge stories
Did you walk across the Auckland Harbour Bridge when it first opened in 1959? Work on the construction of the clip-on lanes in 1969? Collect tolls from drivers until the bridge became free in 1984?
We’re researching stories for our Tāmaki Herenga Waka: Stories of Auckland exhibition opening next year and want to hear from anyone with early memories of the Auckland Harbour Bridge and how it changed life for Aucklanders, especially on the North Shore.
Email us at haveyoursay@aucklandmuseum.com if you have an interesting story you’d like to share.
Are you missing a beautiful solid black cat ( with a tiny tiny bit of white on chest)?
Seen behind Quest hotel ,[ but slightly towards Kell park] lying watching a group of pigeons, very shiny coat, earlier this evening about 5/6ish, just in case you've lost your cat , I'm wondering how did it get across the river??
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
