Thames (NZ): Another look at the Waiotahi Aqueduct

A quick update on yesterdays post. I came across one of my postcards that gives us a birds-eye view of the aqueduct. What an amazing and imposing structure that dominated the landscape for decades (along with others).


If it was there today, the Waiotahi Aqueduct would be located on the north side of Burke Street - to the right of the building at the far right in the photo below.

A close-up of the 1910-20 view, shows men walking along the structure, maybe doing repairs or checking the integrity of the aqueduct.
