Description WAIPUKURAU - THE WAIPUKURAU SHINGLE COMPANY & PATANGATA COUNTY COUNCIL YARDS AND OFFICES ON LINDSAY ROAD - 1958
The Patangata County Council had their work yard here.
A 'slack line bucket dredge' was used to bring in the shingle.
The deep hole make for a great swimming hole after hours. We've heard tell already over these last few days how jumping off of the railway bridge just upriver was a favoured pastime for some daring ones.
The houses all house various county staff and workers, including some across the other (near) side of Lindsay Road. The ones to the right are set at interesting angles in relation to the road - a small street of their own for access.
