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.

Vinnies Wellington is hosting a Free Shop and Community Lunch on Saturday 17 November. We currently have booked the old Caltex space on Riddiford Street, with the vision to transform it into a vibrant outdoor shop and community (food court style) lunch.
The last Free Shop held in August 2018, saw 700 people attend. We targeted marketing to social housing, social services and community support groups to make sure we were able to support the most vulnerable in our community.
We aim to make this a community event. Encompassing the name ‘Better off Together’ we are calling on community groups, religious groups, businesses, organisations, families and individuals to prepare food and serve the lunch – and we hope you can be one of them.
Prepare Food: to be ready for Saturday 17 Nov, 11am
• Baking
• Salads
• BBQ’s will be available on the day to cook (meat, halal, vegetarian)
• Vegetarian dishes
• Soups
• Sandwiches
We invite you to bring your teams, your families, your friends, your congregations and let’s show our community that we’re better off together.
We’d love to hear your thoughts and any questions you may have.
