Argosy Aerial - Puriri Terrace basketball court prior to development

Argosy Aerial - Puriri Terrace basketball court prior to development

Puriri Netball Centre and the surrounding area was renamed Vautier Park in 1976 after Catherine Vautier who had a lifetime involvement with basketball (called netball after 1970).

Basketball was played in Palmerston North from around 1914. Some of the early courts were located behind the Y.W.C.A in Grey Street. From the late 1920s games were played regularly on Wednesdays because it was early closing day of half-holiday, and Saturdays.

Catherine Vautier was educated at Palmerston North Girls’ High School. By 1926 she was teaching at the Technical School. She became involved in local basketball, coaching the 1930 representative team. Her dedication to the sport as a player, coach, umpire and delegate was rewarded in 1967 when she was granted life membership of the Manawatu Basketball Association.

In 2018, Vautier Park provides Netball Manawatu with a modern regional outdoor facility with 17 courts for over 4500 players, coaches, umpires and officials.

Workmen are constructing the children's pool in Memorial Park at Terrace End (formerly called Fitzroy Park). The Palmerston North City Council purchased the site in 1938 and developed it into a recreational and sporting area. A memorial to citizens killed in World War Two (WWII) was erected and in 1954 Fitzroy Park was officially dedicated as Memorial Park. As the obelisk was removed 1983 the gates are now the official memorial. Note the railway lines in the foreground, from when the line ran out of the city via Main Street, before the Milson deviation took it to the outskirts.

National insurance building Rangitikei street

National insurance building Rangitikei street

Thorrold-Jaggard designed this building for Alan Carman Keeble, and the firm F. Jackson & Son erected it at a cost of £3,873. A.C. Keeble was possibly part of the Land and Insurance Agents’ firm Bagnall & Keeble that in 1928 was based in the Carroll Buildings on the opposite side of Rangitikei Street. That firm was still based in Rangitikei Street in 1938. Later Keeble worked for the BNZ.

It is unclear when the National Insurance Company occupied this building. The 1941 phonebook lists M.A. Elliott Ltd., of Broadway, as its agent. Early 1970s phone books list it at 6-10 Rangitikei Street (this building), while the 1977 phonebook gives another Rangitikei Street address. The Wises’ Directories list a variety of tenants, including insurance agents, who perhaps represented the company. Other tenants included a draper, a dress shop, a photographer, sharebrokers and solicitors. In 2014, this building was closed and under threat as earthquake-prone.

Argosy Studio (Argos Industrial Photos) was a photography business owned and operated between 1950 and 1980 by Joe Greening (formerly employed by Elmar Studios). Originally located in Broadway, Argosy later moved to Cuba Street on the corner with Lombard Street.

As well as commissioned work (such as photographing the old railyards or aerial shots for the Council) Greening was known to operate as a street photographer, capturing the likenesses of passersby, offering his card with the negative number so they could buy the image if they wished. Many of these images will be in family photo albums.

A fire in 1965 destroyed many negatives in Argosy's collection but this image was one of the 400 or so survivors. Greening donated many of these surviving images to the Ian Matheson City Archives in 1989 before retiring to Kaitaia. He died in 2001.
