Noeline McCaughan: The Post office is the double story build at the top centre. this must have been taken from Taylor's hill.

James Newby: I’ve a hand coloured print of this same postcard.

Wayne Nicholson Trying to guess where the main rd would be ?

Noeline McCaughan This view is looking South-West, Seddon Street (the Main road) is situated towards the lower part of the photo, see the two little cottages close together? (one has a red roof) they are on the street and if you follow along to the right you can see the false fronts and verandahs of the shops facing the street as well.

Wayne Nicholson Noeline McCaughan . Wow. That puts it in perspective, Thank you.

Bev Howard Awesome Robin Parker, how much remains now. We visited 5 years ago and drove out to the old cemetery where my gg grandfather is buried.
Went to the old pub too, seemed to be only the main street.

Lynnette Beirne Pauline Weeks this is an interesting photo of Kumara

Judith Whitehead What was the two story building up in the top right ?

Jeannie Preddy Judith Whitehead I think that is the post office and telephone exchange. I lived in Kumara in early 70s and it was in use then.

Karen Peters If that is the face behind Kumara it runs behind Taylors hill all and down behind the Theater Royal Hotel

Karen Peters The 2 story building i the background looks like the old post office on the corner of Greenstone rd and Tui st. As kids we lived opposite it

Karen Peters The building on the left in front of the photos would be McFarlanes hotel I think Annie Haines lived there

Kleah Boyd What is the area in front.. Is it a water front at low tide??

Roger Howell I think I can see Phil Duffy's shop in the distance.

Karen Peters Roger Howell yes I can see that too. Probable was Hamers store way back then

Andy Bone But they are not native.... Think doc needs to cully them to

Anne Brown Wow that’s fantastic to look at, wonderful photo

Pat Weir Thanks for the photo interesting to see what it looked like in 1911 we left Kumara in 1945 as a child
