| 1931 Corner of Hardy and Rutherford St Nelson |
17 August 11:51pmWith the anticipated heavy rain now hitting the Nelson Tasman region, we hope that you and your whānau are staying safe out there.
With surface flooding on our minds, today we share a 1931 photograph from our Collections Online of two motor vehicles driving through floodwaters at a Nelson city intersection, thought to be the corner of Hardy Street and Waimea Street (now Rutherford Street). The premises of Ivory Bros Ltd, Bert Tomlinson, and the Waverley Dancing Academy can be seen.
