The Motueka Historical Association has published the eighth in its series of historical journals '... and so it began' featuring articles on the history of Motueka and surrounding districts.

Journal 8 is twice the size of the previous issue and covers a number of topics including: Commemoration of WW1, the history of some of our old homes, how some Motueka streets got their names, early Motueka newspapers, and much more.

Who built and lived in those gracious old homes on High Street near the roundabout?
Who were Hulbert, Pamarika and Vosper?
Why and when was Memorial Hall built?
Who on earth was Mears of Mears Haven?

With over 160 pages, Journal 8 answers these questions and many others as well as featuring a number of photographs from the Historical Association's extensive collection.

There is also a list of the contents of previous editions, a handy feature if you have a particular interest in a topic or person.

This would make a great Christmas present and priced at just $20 it's a real bargain. Available from Paper Plus and the Motueka Musuem, Journal 8 can also be posted for an extra $4 for post and packaging.
