Description

May 2009 is the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Auckland Harbour Bridge. Published in conjunction with the New Zealand Herald, Auckland Harbour Bridge - 50 Years of a City Icon is a wonderful celebration in photographs of the bridge's creation, development and anniversary. Broken into sections, the book explores the construction, opening, extensions (the clip-ons), toll booth closure, human interest stories and the future. The New Zealand Herald opened its archives of clippings and photographs to make this book the wonderful record that it is.
