Lived next Gerry and Val on Buller Road using a shared drive. Great neighbours and two lovely young daughters. Pleasant memories. Sailor and Sally Hill on the other side good neighbourhood.

Paul Mcmahon on the tractor ,Frank Hampson shifted the house , his blue and white international truck is behind the house ,George Lockington is out in front .Also George built the trailer under the house , wheels and tyres are off a DC3 aircraft .

The house being transported across the highway bridge over the Inangahua River was one of three NZR railway houses of the same type (1912) on the south side of the station.
It was moved to Grey Rd, it’s the house I live in.
On the northern side of the station were x4 houses, x3 of one type most likely Midland Railway Co houses, the other two were different NZR types, one of which was a B type house and that was relocated to the corner of Sinnamon and Cavell streets next to the Challenge garage.

Where abouts was the house on Hattie st? Was it an ex railways house?

George Lockington done many house moves. Think the Cronadun one back to join new school when built opposite OMalleys store

Linda Chandler
We lived next to that house when we were young.

I am sure they shifted the house onto the farm named Glenvay. (Our old farm)They shifted it from Reefton to Cronadun after the original house burnt.
