Representing Massey Residents and Ratepayers
It has been raining heavily all over Auckland over the weekend of March 11th and 12th.
This picture was found on the Facebook page of Massey, and taken by a Claire Shiels. Hopefully they do not mind us using the photo. .
According to Ivan Clulee, in his marvellous book “Post Office Buildings in the Auckland Province” (actually Auckland Region, but that’s by-the-by …) “In Don Buck Road, one of the major arterial roads in the resi…dential area of Massey, a post office was located in leased premises from 26 July 1965 until closure on 27 January 1989, when PostBank closed this postal/banking operation.”
