Auckland Harbour Bridge: 50 Years of a City Icon

Description

May 2009 is the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Auckland Harbour Bridge. Published in conjunction with the New Zealand Herald, Auckland Harbour Bridge - 50 Years of a City Icon is a wonderful celebration in photographs of the bridge's creation, development and anniversary. Broken into sections, the book explores the construction, opening, extensions (the clip-ons), toll booth closure, human interest stories and the future. The New Zealand Herald opened its archives of clippings and photographs to make this book the wonderful record that it is.

Author description

Renee Lang lives on Northcote Point, a stone's throw from the bridge. She is a highly experienced editor and researcher. This is her first book.
