RE: Sightseeing with BLBM #8 - A Little Walk Thru New Market In Auckland
The place certainly looks different from when I was last there, many many moons ago.
I would have cried to see the historic buildings torn down.
That's the top part by the swimming pools, didn't take pictures further down, yeah New Market has changed alot.
1850's there was three hotels demolished, 1870 - 1920 two more other buildings were demolished one was a Brewery, a lot now have been extremely altered to what they were.
We saw some of the demolishing of the Lion Red Berwery that was sad it was so iconic on the corner.
I thought I took a photo of the new Lion Red Berwery, can't find it, may have to take another. It got built in another area of Auckland, saw that beening built, some sad stories about that also.
Oooh, you should write about the brewery :D
I'll have to add it to the list and take a picture when we next go past.
