One of the few early township photos, c.1893: Exley's home and butchery, on the north side of
Eltham Road, west of Manaia Road. The delivery cart on the left seems off to service settlers
across the Kaupokonui. Notice the unfelled timber between Exley's and the river. The
mounted boy must be off on a township delivery. On this side of the street be must first pass
Canning's premises, a bakery and a general store, before coming to the Commercial Hotel at
the crossroad
