Margaret Street, 1932
Parked cars line the street in 1932. Combined with the low-rise sandstone buildings, the old cars give Margaret Street a totally different feel to what it’s like now. In 2003 the streetscape is dominated by office towers. Three things remain constant: the trees peering out from Wynyard Park on the left, the (former) Scotts Church on the right near the crest of the hill, and (of course) the steep gradient of the street itself.
