sights of Whanganui

We went to Whanganui for a day out and to enjoy the sunshine.
As we drove around, we found some interesting things that I want to share.



This is an old Fire Brigade Sub  Station, 1925.

I have no idea what these letters on the top of a deserted industrial building mean.
Sally, I think you're right that it once said 'storage.'

Dragon's head, anyone?

  1. Do those letters say 'storage' by any chance? They remind me of those awful anti-spam things everybody used to have where you had to type some meaningless phrase before you could leave a comment. I forgot what that was called, thank heavens nobody does it any more.

    Anyway, love all your pictures, definitely all worth sharing -- the first one, the fence with the Maori (?) masks is fascinating.
