Mawhera Quay and train station from Cobden bridge

About this image

DescriptionI have returned many times to my birthplace and here's an older photo taken in the early 1980's I think on an unusually fine day on the Coast! Those keen eyed will see the tender of historic steam engine A 428 protruding from the shed on the left of the photo. My grandfather George King drove the engine whilst he was based in Greymouth.
