Such a garish slogan fires the imagination, leaving an indelible imprint on an ex- tensive canvas of real factual drama... Such a New Zealand-wide reputation with which Hastings was aptly labelled last century, has to a large extent stubbornly clung to Hawke's Bay's marketing centre of fruit and wool growing. Since the grim pioneering days of devastating fires in Heretaunga Street, the city has continued to be subjected to a series of multi-million dollar blazes in more recent times. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBut today there's a major difference. Where the small unit of firemen 100 years back were ill- equipped and poorly treated with little reward, today's firefighters thrive on good conditions with good pay and the use of the most sophisticated scientific appliances and apparatus.

It tells of the early struggles and turbulent times, of squabbles and frustrations; of the joyous advent of the celebrated steam engine and its day of renown, fighting a stubborn ship fire off Napier; it tells of an exception- ally massive Hastings blaze in 1907, when pumping operations were foiled by the Railways Department; of the brigade's colourful characters; it gives a vivid description of the trials of the 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake in which the fire station was wrecked. Interspersed touches on technology through an exciting century enhance the interest. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eUniquely, the book includes a chapter featuring something of the part womanfolk have played in the lives of their firemen, culminating in the acceptance of modern fire brigade reform.

For 150 he acquired 100 acres in Riccarton, which entitled him to own four quarter-acre sections in Hereford Street. In 1859 he leased these sections to William Sefton Moorhouse, who was at that time Superintendent of Canterbury Province and remembered for constructing the Lyttelton-Christchurch rail tunnel. One year later, in 1860, Moorhouse built a small two-storeyed office at 88 Hereford Street, an unpretentious wooden building that in 1866 became sandwiched between the Royal Insurance and the former New Zealand Trust and Loan Company buildings respectively. Originally housing professional offices until it was converted to shops in 1977, Moorhouse's building became known as Shand's Emporium and although in its early days it faced a dirt road, it went on to be part of the bustle of the central city - and the oldest commercial building in the CBD. Amazingly, this historic structure survived the Canterbury earthquakes, and once again in 2012 stood alone on a dirt section in Hereford Street, an extraordinary survivor. Its future remains uncertain, but it is likely that it will be restored in another location. Like Shand's Emporium, the Shand family since their arrival in 1850 have survived, thrived and evolved, perceiving solid fundamentals and sound values to be at the heart of their foundations.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantis Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46218717429995,"sku":"","price":95.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/7492\/8875\/files\/IMG_2025-02-27-10-50-44-254.jpg?v=1740608183"},{"product_id":"kicking-on-through-the-history-of-hunting-in-new-zealand","title":"Kicking On - Through the History of Hunting in New Zealand","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is a second-hand copy of the book \u003cem\u003eKicking On - Through the History of Hunting in New Zealand\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: This is a used book in good condition.

Port Craig was home to the country’s largest and most technologically advanced sawmill. On its extensive bush tramway ran one of the largest tramway locomotives over New Zealand’s tallest tramway bridge, some years back the subject of a major restoration project. The Port Craig venture collapsed during the Depression and became a ghost town. The mighty viaducts still stand, bearing mute testimony to those pioneering efforts. The easily-graded tramway now provides trampers’ access to the magnificent Waitutu Forest.
