Image

Description: This image is believed to depict Langley Avenue Reserve near Milson School in Palmerston North and may have been taken in around 1973.

Users of Manawatū Heritage have identified Railway houses situated on Fairs Road near the corner of Langley Avenue in the back left of the image. The house roofs visible at the right of the image are believed to be 65 and 63a Lockhart Avenue. Two Railway lighting towers are also visible, the centre one likely being close to Tyndall Street, the one at right closer to Russell Street.

This slide was likely created by David Evans of the City Council's Planning Office. M D (David) Evans was a planning assistant from 1955 to 1968, Deputy City Planner from 1968 to 1978 and Senior Planning Officer (Design and Development) from 1978-1988.
