Description Corner of Bowen Street and Lambton Quay, circa 1929.jpg |
Wooden buildings are being demolished to make way for the construction of the Cenotaph. Government House, Parliament Buildings and Turnbull House are in the background. Photographer: Unknown (Wellington City Council archive reference: 00155:0:44) When the picture was taken, Bowen Street met with Lambton Quay about 60 metres north-east of where it is now - on the other side of the Cenotaph. The intersection was changed in the late 1930s as part of the work to extend Bowen Street to Tinakori Road, to help ease traffic congestion and shorten the route between the central city and Karori. The original end to Bowen Street existed until the early 1970s, when it was landscaped into the paved park between the Cenotaph and the gates to the Parliament grounds. |
