EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured in the early 1900s, showcases The Square in Westport, South Island, New Zealand. The image transports us back in time, as we take in the quaint charm of this historic town square. At the heart of the square stands a proud South African War Memorial, a testament to the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought in the Second Boer War (1899-1902). The memorial, with its intricate design and ornate details, is a poignant reminder of the global conflicts that shaped the world during this era. Surrounding the memorial, we see a collection of elegant buildings, their facades adorned with Victorian architecture. The grandeur of these structures, with their tall, arched windows and intricate brickwork, speaks to the prosperity and growth that Westport experienced during this period. In the foreground, a beautiful fountain graces the square, its water cascading gently into a tranquil pool. The reflection of the buildings in the water adds an extra layer of visual interest to the scene. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the bustling activity that once filled The Square in Westport. It is a reminder of the rich history and heritage that can be found in the small towns and cities of New Zealand, waiting to be explored and appreciated.
