    Very interesting. 5:00 the 7 houses in a row down off devon st in the sunless gully just to the left of the prison were for prison staff working at the prison. Also 6:50 the street length brick wall on the left of Mt Cook jail police station here (Tasman st) has alot of arrowed bricks..I suspect its the backdrop to the latter portion of your vid with the photo montage? More please 😊😊 Edit: " A group of run-down old villas in a damp, south-facing gully in Devon Street, Aro Valley. It’s colloquially known as 'The Ditch'. They were originally built around 1900 to house the warders at the nearby Terrace Gaol. The gaol has since become Te Aro School. It sits in the sun on the ridge above. In the steep-sided shady gully below, the villas remain, lichen-covered, often overgrown. Several sit only inches above the damp gully floor. "

    I used to walk past the house on my way to school in the mid to late 60’s. We knew it as the baby farm. Once the house was demolished the section was left for a year or two and every time it rained the mud from the site would run over the footpath. Eventually another house was built on the site.

    My bet is it will get a good crash rating. Please note the Australian models are different to the NZ model. You get one with a white interior, NZ one are all black. So there may be more differents. There are two models and the specification are different. The range topping Essence has more safety features. The Essence getting thing like 360° Camera, LED Headlights, Key-less Entry, Electric Auto Fold Side Mirrors with Heating Only the Essence gets LED Head light, LED. A lot better at night.

    The promotional was produced when Jaguars looked like Jaguars and not the same cookie cutter design that haunts all the luxury carmakers today. The video also depicts an England that doesn't exist anymore and is presented in a way that would be considered racist today. Nevertheless, it's a breath of fresh air to listen to the narrator go on about merry old England, which has now been overrun by muslims and third world migrants.

    Hello George. Thank you for this very interesting video, well done. A couple of points - the area where John Tuhi was buried at Karori is Anglican, not Catholic. Also, William Bannister was buried in Bolton Street Cemetery, with his wife Mary who died in 1856, and many other family members. Their grave still exists and there is a good photo of it on the Friends of Bolton Street Cemetery website.
