Calendar reflects past & present

The Albertland Museum and Heritage Centre has mined its extensive photographic collection to illustrate its 2018 calendar.

Under the theme Past and Present, each month features two photographs of the same location – one taken in earlier times and one recent.

Some of the early photos date back to the late 1880s and were taken by photographers Harold Marsh, Lucy Dunning, Dot Avenell and M. Gorbey. The more recent photos are the work of Rob Lennon, Peter Panhuis and Peter Marsh.

The locations featured include Wellsford, Port Albert, Te Hana and even Orewa.

A total of 250 calendars have been printed and funds raised will go towards the care of the museum’s collection.

The calendars cost $20 each and can be purchased from the museum in Port Albert Road and the Mahurangi Matters office in Warkworth, or online at albertland.co.nz.
