ABOUT
A comprehensive volume explores the rich 1,000-year history of the East Auckland area. Specifically the history of Howick and Pakuranga, Whitford, Bucklands and Eastern Beaches and Surrounding Districts.
It details the archaeology and legacy of the local Māori people, the early missionary work, and the arrival of European settlers—particularly the Royal New Zealand Fencibles.
It covers local geology, early Maori settlements, the mid-19th-century Fencibles defense community, schools, local architecture, and the changing transport links across the Tāmaki River.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images, drawings and maps.
