A view from Rock's Road looking towards the initial Port facilities for Nelson. Despite a New Zealand wide economic depression at this time, Rocks Road was graveled and ready for use by mid-1897. Contributions were: Nelson City Council £4300; Waimea County Council £1500; Richmond Borough Council £500 and the Government £1500. The final cost including prison labour was £11,000.
