Description

Mr Charles E Wildbore was a well-known resident of the Pohangina Valley during the early years of the 20th century. He owned a small dairy farm and apiary at Pohangina Township, but is principally remembered for his photographic activities, being an enthusiastic amateur photographer who recorded many interesting views of rural life in the Pohangina Valley during the period 1900 to 1920. This particular photograph shows some of Mr Wildbore’s bee-hives in the grounds of his farmhouse at Pohangina Township.
