About this book
"Ninety-seven year old Alf Rendell has produced a stunning work in collaboration with his friend, respected Tauranga historian Fiona Kean. This very special book features aerial photographs of Tauranga and surrounds which were taken between 1946 and 1956 during a period when Tauranga started to grow from a small, coastal fishing village into a city."
