Tenth book from Gosson - Out Now!
Walking the streets of Masterton, one passes by a wide variety of buildings. How many of those have been around for 100 years and how many are more recent?
Like all towns, Masterton has seen its share of buildings come and go. Some to make way for progress and others taken by natural disasters and fires. But what did Queen Street look like in say, the 1900s? And how much has that street changed? Are there any of those buildings left?
Treading in the footsteps of the photographers from yesteryear, Echoes takes a stroll down the roads of history, taking seven photos from each decade of the 20th century and then finding out where the photographer was when they took the original photo and lining up the same photograph today giving a comprehensive visual representation of the changing face of Masterton over the years.
Available at all good local bookstores now.
