This photograph is one of a series made by Charles Wildbore showing the construction of the Mangahao hydro-electric power scheme in the Tararua ranges east of Shannon. This view shows the foundations being laid for the power house. The Mangaore Steam on the left was later diverted to flow along the concrete channel.
