Was a great place to grow up, spent many an hour walking around the mount and summers on the beach back in the 80s and 90s. Great times, and era for me.
You can pause on any photo you wish to examine at length if you wish. My parents moved to the Mount just after WW2 so this is fascinating to me who grew up here from the 1950's. They lived in the Post Office flats with pine trees around them, south of Salisbury Wharf. As young children we played on the beach where the Port now is. Lots of family stories from this era. Thanks for posting...I have sent it on to family members to enjoy.
Nostalgia at its finest whilst watching this especially with the background music...The good ole days..My how the the years have changed

My hometown, sure has changed over the years...but such a beautiful place to live.😊

This is amazing thanks
Many of these photographs belong to the Tauranga Heritage Collection and can be viewed on their website.
loved the video i just wish each photo stayed up a bit longer :)
Excellent just Abit longer on each pic would make it perfect!!
Thanks for the feedback Wayne. I’m planning to make another and I’ll let the slides linger a little longer.

Wow life looked so simple back then now this place is just carnage 🥲
Nice job Joe 👍
Thanks Tony
Shame about the oak trees, the old Mount looks pretty bare, in the first photos. No sign of flax farms either 😢.
Had no idea there were so many trees back in the day,so different. Now just a few sad Norfolk pines and heaps of houses all squashed in.
Quite a few trees have been cut down by Council on the Mount recently because they weren't native.
@@nicolapicola4502 i was thinking of the trees along where houses now are not on the maunga itself
The video moves a bit fast.

Always give the date otherwise I have to do it by the age of the cars.
