Maoribank Service Station
Following a request for a picture of the former Maoribank Service Station, I have several people to thank for their help and knowledge.
Unable to find any reference via the 'UH Library Recollections' site I sought the help from other 'history buffs'.
Thanks to Brian Pearce and Paul Lloyd-Jones, I am now able to share this photo.
Once on the corner of Fergusson Drive and Mangaroa Hill Road, it was demolished; (maybe) in the early 1970's, to link the motorway with Fergusson Drive.
Thanks to all those who commented to my earlier post to ease my search. The topic has been of much interest to many, so I attach a photo we think may have been taken around the 1950's.
Any other knowledge will be gratefully accepted.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

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?
