Thames (NZ): Then & Now - Methodist Church Corner

A different view of this iconic corner old Shortland.

1870s, the corner of Pollen & Mary Street (S-W intersect) is vacant. To the right in Mary Street is the Thames Gasworks.

Below the site when the Methodist/Wesleyan Church was on the corner Pollen & Mary Streets.

 

Below the Four Square Supermarket on the site of the old church. The Municipal Buildings on the first floor.

Many businesses have occupied the ground floor over the years, today Stirling Sports is at 545 Pollen Street, Thames.
