Collinson and Cunninghame was located on the corner of Broadway and The Square. This company was established in 1904 by a pair of drapers Leo Collinson and John Cunninghame. The Company traded successfully as Collinson and Cunninghame until it was sold to the Farmers trading Company in 1983.

This building was a landmark on the corner of Broadway Avenue and Albert Street from 1918 to 1968 when it was demolished. It was the second flourmill on this site, the first being a small wooden building. The business was established by Richter, Nannestad and Co. in 1878 and sold to James McGill of the Manawatu patent Roller Flour Mill Co. in 1902. Seventeen years later it was purchased by John Ireland of The Manawatu Mills Ltd, who sold it on to Farm Products Co-operative Tararua Ltd in 1965. See also A 175/ 232 Ian Matheson Archives

As Princeway Cakes do not appear in the 1977 telephone book in Rangitikei Street, this photograph must have been taken around 1976, showing the corner of Rangitikei Street and Cuba Street. MLC Building in rear of photograph is in The Square.
