I received this email, and have pointed her towards Matthew O'Sullivan at Wigram but thought someone here may by some chance be able to help too:
"Hi there
I was hoping you may possibly be able to help us. I have now for 2 years been searching for a black and white photo of a building we now own. We live at 261 Parkes Line Road, Maymorn, Upper Hutt. The building we have bought and have turned into our family home was once used as the Post Office and perhaps YMCA for the men who built the Rimutaka Tunnel. However, we believe that maybe it was originally owned by RNZAF and perhaps was moved the Mangaroa (Maymorn) from Rongotai?
There is a lot of if’s and maybe’s!!! Do you know where we may be able to obtain a photo from?? Do you have contacts that may have more information for us?
Your help would be greatly appreciated, as this poor old building was in bad shape when we purchased it and we are doing our best to restore into something great!!! The inside has been 95% completed and looks fantastic…….the only this missing is a piece of history……….been the tribute to what it was on the hallway wall!!!!
Cheers
Jane Willan"
