My great grandmother I have the little copper kettle, hard left on the mantle piece, it came to New Zealand with Peter Hende made by his father, a copper smith in Denmark.

Kathryn Ward
Fabulous photo, I am thinking that she would be the mother of Mr Hende who had the Puke pub.

Kay Bruce
Isn't she wonderful? She took her glasses off for the photo. Does anyone know who she is?

Nicola Sutton
The items on the mantelpiece are fascinating- see the 4 irons lined up! What a fabulous photo. Thanks for sharing.

Anne Boddy
I have a teaset of hers

David Howe
A nice warm kitchen on a cold day, with the smell of stew in the air.

Jeanette Cardwell
It reminds me of my uncles house and thats all he had for cooking, eating in the end part of house and the bike shop was the other end

Kirsten Martini
Is this the same house as the Willows Craft shop in Hari Hari? It was moved into town in 1985 from behind Schimanskis place

Look at fire place size ! Is this near where the ferry was.

Didn't have to worry about power cuts back in the day . And those ovens cooked a roast second to none.

At least the guns are out of harm's way.
