Opened in 1866, a century later St Paul’s Church in Thorndon, Wellington was facing a future of demolition, dismemberment or relocation from its site. This talk will discuss the heritage battle during the 1950s–1960s to decide the future of the church, and discuss some of the personalities and organisations that entered the fray. It will also consider the developing and differing concepts of what 'heritage' is in New Zealand, concepts which were put to the test during the sometimes bitter fight to save the church, one of the first and most important heritage battles in New Zealand conservation history.
Elizabeth Cox is a Wellington heritage consultant, and a senior historian at Manatū Taonga the Ministry for Culture and Heritage. She has researched and written about the social history of many of Wellington’s most important heritage buildings. For a number of years she has undertaken a project to explore the social history of Wellington city through the lens of just one building, Old St Paul's; this project can be found at www.osphistory.org.... Her book about the saving of the church, A Friend Indeed: The Saving of Old St Paul's, was launched by the Prime Minister earlier this year. She also blogs about Wellington heritage issues at www.bayheritage.co.nz....
These monthly Public History Talks are a collaboration between and National Library and the Ministry for Culture and Heritage. The talks are recorded live, and are available as a podcast here: newzealandhistory.podbean.com...

However, critics say they’re dangerous and people are injured by them every year. Fans, on the other hand, argue that all fun involves some level of risk, it just needs to be managed safely.
Last year, we saw a 23% drop in the number of fireworks-related injury claims (171 claims across 2017 versus 223 across 2016). What do you think? Should personal fireworks be banned? Click here for advice on how to use fireworks responsibly.

We now have something until mid Jan 2019 and are still looking to buy so will post separately about that... Thank you kindly to everyone who offered to help.
Meanwhile, we may well be on the lookout to rent short term from mid Jan 2019 so if anyone knows of anything, please message me. It's for my husband and I and we're both professionals, tidy and respectful with great references. I'm planning ahead because I think the students hit town at that time and I don't want to end up in freedom camping at Evans Bay!!
