Taken from the top of the Fitzherbert Terrace and looking down towards the Manawatu River. Mr C J Monro owned the land on the left of the road and this hill was called Monro's Hill for many years. It is now usually referred to as Massey Hill, after Massey University who now owns the land on both sides of the road. In 1969, the road was considerably widened and a pedestrian subway was constructed under the road so that students from the hostels, on the land formerly owned by the Monros, could cross to the university campus.
