Town plan Thursday of...Paeroa! Home of the Lemon & Paeroa drink (L & P), which is "world famous in New Zealand". The map is dated 1926 and the aerial imagery to 1965, which illustrates not all the detail on the plan came to fruition. Source NZMS 16 Paeroa; NZMS 3 Sheet N53-5.

Town plan Thursday heads to Hokitika! The townplan dates to 1923 and the aerial imagery to 1951. Interestingly, to the South of the Hokitika river old dredge tailings are visible (tailings are the leftover gravel or sediment from dredging possibly for gold).

Townplan Thursday heads to Balclutha! The townplan dates to 1864 and the aerial photograph to 1956. It seems only the western extent of the townplan became reality, and the eastern extent is today the Balclutha sports ground. This meant some memorable names did not come to pass such as Biggar and Tinto street. Source NZMS 16 and 3 sheet S179-3.

It has been an awhile since I shared a townplan, and the 1872 plan of Dunedin is one of my favourites. Drawn by F.W.Flanagan, the plan contains a octagon at the centre with radiating geometric rectangles placed in jagged triangles to the south and west, hemming the perfectly spaced rectangles to the North. Besides, the stunning marginalia the plan carefully allocates space. Areas to be reclaimed are already overlaid with city blocks, the rough outline of the old water mark is noted, important government buildings are near or within the octagon, and the periphery to the south is where cemetery plots and a cattle market are placed. The 1965 aerial photograph taken nearly a century later, illustrates how this plan for Dunedin slotted neatly into place with a few omissions closer to the south. It is quite intriguing to think that this 146-year-old plan still impacts how people navigate, commute, and travel in modern day Dunedin.
