DescriptionA mid late 60s or early 70s view looking up Mawhera Quay looking towards the old Greymouth Riverside Station (complete with train to Rewanui) and the old timber Road bridge across the Grey River. Most of the photos I've seen of Riverside Station tend to be looking downstream.

This photo is from the camera of the late Gordon Jory in the National Railway Museum collection at Ferrymead.PhotographerGordon JoryDate of Photo1960`s-70`sMap^[1]Contributor Gordon William Bartram

That was quite often where we caught a train or railcar home to Stillwater. The spare carriages were parked there between trips. Could spend an hour there if nowhere else go.

Remember the old bridge

Got to be early 70s late afternoon. I'd finish work at the big brick building and catch that train back to Runanga.

looking at the photo, it has to be around 1972 to 1974, you can just make out the new road bridge being built behind the old road bridge...

David Maciulaitis
Jeffrey Harrison The new road bridge should be "in front" of the old road bridge, the down stream side.

Davidgood point! So what's the work taking place behind the old road bridge?
