Mātangi dairy factory closed a while ago...but now the buildings are being repurposed for commercial use and for living in...plus a few new units ..the quilting shop is in one of those..
The cafe had a book explaining it and here are a few pages....
I love the plan to save this old buildings. I hope they can do it. Here, many times, these groups get the buildings for free...kind of. The property owners are prepared to tear them down for new construction, and a historical group steps in, offering to do a tear down with the idea of reassembling it somewhere else.
Hi, I've removed word verification...so if all goes well I'll leave it off..... Please leave a pebble in the pool ((o)) even if you don't want to comment, it is nice to see where you all come from! Thanks!
I've enjoyed your Matangi photos from today and yesterday.
