This photograph, taken by Frederick James Halse on 1 April 1888, captures the bridge on Moores Valley Road spanning the Wainuiomata Stream. The vantage point for the photo was Smith’s Whare (also known as Stock’s Whare), which overlooked the Wainuiomata River. The bridge was eventually replaced by a culvert and this culvert was eventually upgraded in 2007.
