Photograph- Trolley Lines Come Down in Foxton (March 2023)

This photo shows the dismantling of Foxton's tram and trolley bus lines in March 2023. First installed as a local development and tourism project by local Ian Little in 1989, trolleys and trams were a familiar site in the town for many years. However, upon Ian's passing in 2012 the service gradually ceased, with the last trolley travelling its route in July 2016.

Concerned about the state of the trolley lines, the Horowhenua District Council made the decision to pull them down. 

This photograph was taken by Jacob Brookie who used a 1966 Marshal Press camera. These cameras were once the choice of newspaper photographers sent to press stand ups.

Jacob stood on Foxton's Main Street opposite the Te Awahou Nieuwe Stroom cultural park. Wharf Street can be seen beyond the two men in the middle ground.

Rewind to the 80's - staff dress-up day

If you came into the library on Wednesday 1 March, you could have been forgiven for thinking you'd taken the DeLorean back to the 1980s. Staff were dressed up to celebrate the opening of the exhibition 'Rewind to the 80's'.

The exhibition was a collaboration between Libraries Horowhenua and MAVtech, the Museum of Audio and Visual Technology (Foxton). It was a nostalgic flashback to the technology of the 1980s, an important decade full of momentum and transformation, with a new millennium on the horizon. Much of the technology we enjoy today stems from innovations from this time.

MAVtech scoured their archives to find some fantastic examples... there's even a space helmet television!

These images are scans of Instax Square photos - actual film photos!
