  • Ann Hartley Story
    34 Ann Hartley The politics of the ordinary is a theme in Ann’s career: the needs of families, the needs of local communities, and of working people. Personal identity is another theme relevant to her story. Her growth as a person has been shaped by race, feminism, faith and the need to make a contribution to society. I’m very privileged. A lot of people hate politics, but I think there’s politics in everything. I am passionate about it and I don’t hesitate to get involved. Ann grew up in Orewa in the 1940s and 1950s. Her father, Bill That’s what they were put out to do, they were servants, wasn’t very Thomson, was of British heritage, his ancestors having settled in different from Britain. So when people talk about, ‘It happened New Zealand in 1883. He first worked on his parents, farm at hundreds of years ago’, it’s rubbish. I’m here, I lived it through Mum.

  • North Shore Heritage Thematic Review — Volume 2 (Parts 3-5)
    Section B North Shore Area Studies Northcote, Birkenhead, Birkdale – Beach Haven and Glenfield Chelsea Sugar Factory. North Shore Libraries, C26310. Principal Authors: Matthews & Matthews Architects Ltd & Lisa Truttman North Shore Heritage – Thematic Review Report 248 Northcote Theme 1 Land and People 1.1 Geology Pupuke volcano and Northcote’s TanK Farm and Onepoto volcanoes are three of the oldest volcanoes (about 200,000-250,000 years old) in the young AucKland basalt field.1 The landforms of the North Shore, and indeed all of coastal AucKland and Northland, have been strongly influenced by stream erosion during glacial periods over the last several million years. During these cooler times, sea level was low and the coast was way out past Great Barrier Island. The present Waitemata Harbour was then a forested river valley flowing east and then north out beneath present day Rangitoto (which was not present). At these times the North Shore formed a prominent divide or ridge on the northern flanK of the Waitemata Valley. A major tributary to the Waitemata River occupied a deep valley in Shoal Bay, with a smaller tributary in Ngataringa Bay. These tributaries wore bacK the divides, isolating low hills in the higher areas of TaKapuna and Devonport. The hills stood about 60 metres above the saddles that separated them. Eastwards, beyond the present Milford - Cheltenham coast, the high land extended some distance and the surface then fell to a broad low plain extending out past Tiritiri. Along the low divide there were peaKs at Stanley Point, Devonport, Narrow NecK and TaKapuna, and between these higher areas streams were entrenched in deeply incised valleys.
