Palmerston North - NZ's Ideal Centre in a World Wide Service

This booklet was produced by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. It argues the case that Palmerston North's Milson Airport should have been the home to the Trans-Tasman Air Terminal due to the city's status as the "geographical centre of New Zealand" and the number of train lines that connected the city to the rest of the country. This booklet outlines some interesting information about Milson Airport and Palmerston North in general.

Mr James Cannons, driving the traction engine through The Square, was employed by the contractor.

The Square, South West

This postcard has the message, "Will you send me a box of violets for Miss Fraser for the party if it is not too much trouble. Meta". It was addressed to Mrs HY Lethbridge, Ruatuangata, Wangeahu, Wanganui and postmarkes 4 J1 1904. To the left of the Band Rotunda is the original All Saints Church. It was replaced with the current brick structure in 1914-1915. On the corner of Church Street and The Square is the Provincial Hotel. It burned down 3 January 1906 and was replaced by the Grand Hotel, which still stands in The Square today [2014]. The fact that the three-storey Coles' building (see 2009p_bc134_bui_2557) has not replaced the two storey wooden building on the far right suggests that the photograph was taken around 1902.

Rangiotu Army Camp

Rangiotu Army Camp

During World War One Manawaroa Te Awe Awe offered the Government the use of part of his farm for a training camp, to replace the camp at Trentham (Wellington) which had been evacuated. Samuel Jickell, Palmerston North Borough Council Civil Engineer, prepared a comprehensive report on the drainage, sanitation and water supply of Trentham Military Camp, and when he laid out the Rangiotu camp near Palmerston North in 1915 he made sure that the poor conditions at Trentham were not repeated. During 1915 men from the 1st & 2nd New Zealand Rifle Brigade and the Earl of Liverpool’s Own Regiment used the land. Initially the camp was situated where the Rangiotu School was but later it moved 1 mile west, opposite Pyke’s Road. The entire camp was moved by hand and occupied approx. 3000 acres and could accommodate 2,000 men. To avoid cutting up the ground, no wheeled vehicles were allowed in the camp.
