Looking down the gully towards the Township the large building in view is the Commercial Hotel in Lucknow Street it was totally rebuilt in 1907 after the previous establishment burnt down in 1904. The tide is in and the line on the hills in the background is the Grove Track which in "modern" times is now referred to as Queen Charlotte Drive. This links Havelock to Picton and has a tremendous amount of history attached to it's final construction as a "road" in 1916. But from all accounts was best in dry weather!
