I remember Florence when she lived at the other house and sorted the mail, as kids we loved collecting the mail for our Nana Jesse Power who lived further along. A beautiful part of the Westcoast.

This building was still there until just a few yrs ago. It was just on the left before the second rail crossing at Aikens traveling east to christchurch. There's a grave in the paddock just behind where the building stood.

I wonder if any one has photos of the old car Dick Power had ? It was a New Pick with a distinctive round radiator on the front made of brass .The car still exists and I am trying to find pictures of it?
