Description

This image was taken (but not used) for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 01 August 1981. The Standard reported that as many as 1000 police were involved in planning for protests on game day, including the specially formed ‘Red and ‘Blue’’ riot squads. This image likely depicts David Street opening onto Main Street with the Railway land in front of milling Police. The Railway land was the muster point for the 1pm protesters.
