Took me ages to work out which way this is looking, but I suspect it's south. The main road in the centre is J'ville road, the gorge is the small track going off towards 11 o'clock with Fraser Ave continuing straight ahead and then bending right. Broderick Rd is the road going off to the right where it will cross the rail lines visible in the bottom right.

Thank you! I took one look at it and thought "oohhh, that's too hard for me to identify...."

I can see my house! I've been trying to find an aerial view in the same direction from the 1920s too but no luck yet

Information from Timeframes:
"... Lydia Williams is in the centre, playing the banjo. Seated at the right is her sister, Amy Devereux. The man with the camera is Russell Duncan. The other man's identity is unknown but it is possible he was a member of a group such as the Fisk Jubilee Singers, a troupe of Negro singers and musicians who toured New Zealand in the late 1880s. Photograph taken by Lydia's husband William Williams. "Historical note: "Russell James Duncan (1855-1946) was later to become a well known photographer and historian of Napier."

19th century photographers were skilled at stereoscopic photography and have a lot to teach modern exponents of the art

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Vintage Musicians, and we'd love to have this added to the group! Lovely scene.

A stereo negative must always be reversed, which is finally quite logical.... www.flickr.com/photos/187371730@N02/52263361705/in/datepo... Great stereo!
