Matt from Whanganui

Hi there I was wondering if any well seasoned people that have been in wanganui for a while have any info or photos of the shop that use to be on the cnr of Keith st and Liverpool st across the road from the Keith st school as my grandmother ran it in the early 1950 and my mother ran a shop on the … View moreHi there I was wondering if any well seasoned people that have been in wanganui for a while have any info or photos of the shop that use to be on the cnr of Keith st and Liverpool st across the road from the Keith st school as my grandmother ran it in the early 1950 and my mother ran a shop on the cnr of Keith st and Glasgow st around the same time next to Peter's sample rooms. It would be so great if I could get copies of any photos or info on either or both shops.
Thank you for your time reading this
Kind regards matt
These are photos of the houses that on the sites of the shops. I hope the owners don't mind me posting these photos I will remove if they want

I heart my hood

The Team from Neighbours Aotearoa

This is your chance to celebrate your hood by sharing stories, photos or video. We really want to see and hear about the people in your neighbourhood. Portraits or videos of our neighbourhood champions, or the people that to you personify your community or ‘hood’. This year we’re doing it a little differently. To help focus (excuse the photography pun) we’ve chosen three themes.

1 – I Heart the History of My Hood

Everywhere we live has history, and stories. Do you know your hood’s history? Or maybe you know someone who has lived in the community for what seems like a million years, and know the place like that back of their hand. Was your hood the birth place of the women’s vote, or maybe site of the biggest lamington ever made way back in 53′ ….(Yes I know, random, but honestly we’re interesting in anything and everything)… By the way – this is also an awesome way to get our older ‘story tellers’ involved.

2 – I Heart Diversity in my Hood

New Zealand really has become a melting pot and that brings with it the rainbow of diversity of all kinds. Maybe you have the ‘united nations’ living on one street, maybe your neighbourhood pot luck dinners are better and more interesting than an international food fair could every dream of! We want to see and hear about it.

3 – I Heart My Healthy Hood

With our clean green image, amazing fresh foods, picture perfect outdoor environment, we know there are neighbourhoods out there that personify ‘health’. Is your neighbourhood or neighbour one of them? It could be through a neighbourhood walking group, or a ‘from garden to plate thanks to the shared neighbourhood community garden’ kind of thing. It might be a neighbourhood that has committed to getting the kids off screens and outside, or maybe its a whole street of cross fit power vegans ….. probably not … but you never know. What ever it is, we want to see and hear about it.

To enter go to our website and ‘share your story’

So get snapping and chatting. We have more information on I Heart My Hood available on facebook and on our website.

When you build with Jennian Homes Manawatu you are not only supporting local builders but our local Carters Palmerston North, our preferred supplier for building materials.
Last week our GM Natasha visited the brand new Carters truss plant in Auckland. It was great to see the Pre-nail frames and Trusses being built before our very eyes. Although our trusses are made locally, it was great to see how technology is making advances by turning around orders more efficiently and providing safer working environments for the plant operators.
