Aerial and ground based images showing the property and homes belonging to the Sinclair family of Wainuiomata.
A collection of photographs, including both aerial and ground-level views, dating back to the 1880s. The aerial images specifically come from 1941, 1942, and 1954. Visible in these photographs are four homes once owned by the Sinclair family. The Sinclair Cemetery is also present, though difficult to spot unless you know its exact location. The photos show, Glenhill, Northbrook, Moness, and Sinclair House with only Sinclair House still standing today.
In the aerial photographs, Glenhill is situated within a rectangular perimeter where Willis Grove is now located. Northbrook, identifiable by its circular front yard, was positioned where Whitcher Grove stands today. Moness can be recognised by a perimeter of trees forming a rough square shape, now within Richard Prouse Park. Sinclair House is located approximately midway along Hine Road and still exists today.
All photos of homes belonging to the Sinclair family and located on their large property can be seen in the image gallery below.
