Nelson, NZ. A drive to Richmond in 1993

Taken in 1993 through the windscreen, this drive takes us from Annesbrook's Black Cat through Stoke to Richmond, ending at Richmond Mall.
Places of note include; the Turf Hotel, Robinson's complex (or lack of), Saxton field, Champion Rd intersection, Queen St, Richmond Mall and all the old cars from the eighties and nineties.

Very familiar sight for me - I followed this route twice a day travelling from Motueka to Nelson and back while working at the Nelson Library in the late 1980s.

Wow! Waimea College hosted the 1986 New Zealand Secondary Schools Cross Country Championships that I lined up in. Racing for Dargaville High School, 42nd Senior Girls. First time I have seen it on a screen after all these years 😮!!

Wow..... Amazing video. As if they knew one day it would all be built out. Incredible. I remember the road used to be full in the morning going to town before the wakatu drive.

[@sarahdanielle1985]

Wow we drove past my house at 8 years old lol

[@theobserver2889]

I forgot that BP was there I remember George with the thumb and no fingers worked there lol.

[@kevinsturgess1475]

George was a car painter at the honda car assembly plant. He used to work the weekends at BP. He went on to owning his own petrol station on corner of parkers rd and murati street. Excellent car painter.
