Photography by Colin W. Anstis.  Over 130 black and white images of Wellington City and the Greater Wellington Region, taken by Colin W. Anstis in 1979.

Shop at a fruit and vegetable market... visit a hot rod show... wander around a wharf... participate in the 100th Anniversary celebrations of a horse racing club... join the queue to see a circus... and much more.

Return to the year 1979 and a time that, although long gone, comes to life again through the viewing of these captivating and evocative photographs.
