Item description from seller

A very close to new copy. This book explores the vibrant past of Point Chevalier, tracing its development from European settlement in the 1860s through to the present day. Millar, who has lived in the area for years, was inspired to uncover the stories behind the place she calls home. What she found was a suburb with a surprisingly lively history. In the 1920s, Point Chevalier was a hotspot for jazz and dancing, drawing crowds to its social venues. Later, it became one of New Zealand’s earliest state housing areas, shaped by the policies of the First Labour Government. The book also highlights the suburb’s sporting achievements, its role as a bustling town centre, and the strong sense of community that continues today.
