Paul Agnes Smith
Samual Cash When yer had a skin full, who's counting the steps....

Samual Cash
Paul Agnes Smith it all depends if they were two steps forward or three steps backwards

Paul Agnes Smith

We need to stop knocking all the old buildings down, its bloddy stupid wiping history out like we do in nz.

Steve Rodda

Jones Jnr na bloody eyesores and cost heaps to maintain

Jones Jnr
Steve Rodda maintained they arnt eyesores, they would generate there own income to maintain themselves if done right.

Anne Brown
So stupid to be knocking down all these buildings!!!

Jones Jnr
How about the maori burial caves were the warehouse is now and the rest, we just knocked them down too, imagine if we had pride in our history and those burial sites were still there, imagine if we put mana before money , just imagine how special our history would become! Already expecting people to hate this comment based on money, not mana . Mana is what our pockets are full of when we die, not money. Can't take that with us.

Tom Coomber
Jones Jnr well said bro.

Lynn-marie Thompson

A lot of character in the 1904 buildings.

Hamish Gordon
Wow the before photo is very cool!

Rose Henham

Sara Jones
Can I buy a ticket to the 1900s please?

Bronwen Skates
Certainly would be lovely to walk down the before photo and see shops and character. Modern photo looks so sparse.

Wayne Leckie
The commercial hotel behind the guy in the black ???

Tania Wilmott
What a waste of old heritage buildings.. For the sake of a half empty carpark. Just awful.

Carrol Hunter
I want to look in the shops of 1904.I don't go looking in 2023

Bronwen Skates
Carrol Hunter same

William Conway
A great example of the negative effects of prioritizing vehicles in our towns

Joshua Kilkelly
Tear down heritage buildings for car parks... Put over price leases on remaining buildings.... Can't even go to races...

Yvonne Anisy
Far fewer people there now

Beverley Hooper
Where have all the buildings gone? Long time passing!!!

Gavin Davy
Yeah but most of them either burned down or fell down.

Peter Robertson
Gavin Davy Yes Gavin,people look and say how good was it then.Well most people couldn't buy much and you're right about the buildings. Today at least we have stable building and the ones that aren't are being replaced!

Gavin Davy
Yeah, I agree with people when they say the old buildings were great but they often weren't built to last for this long.
