Top iconic landmarks HB/Gisborne in New Zealand

    "From the ashes of the devastating 1931 Hawke’s Bay Earthquake and consequent fire that raged through the Edwardian ruins came a beautiful Art Deco townscape and seaside promenade. The Colonnade, Veronica Sun Bay memorial, Soundshell and Marine Parade gardens are iconic to the seaside city and the best place to start to explore the unique architectural journey."

    "Once known as Scinde Island when the landmark was surrounded by water Napier Hill can be seen looming in the distance from all over Hawke’s Bay. The big hill takes on the names of Bluff Hill, Hospital Hill and Napier Hill. A journey through the steep streets is an architectural history of the city, from 18th century fisherman’s cottages, Edwardian and Victorian villas, Spanish Mission and Art Deco homes to modern construction and the interesting and ghostly old Napier Cemetery and Botanical Gardens."

    "One of Hastings most prominent landmarks the Art Deco Clock Tower is inscribed with the names of the 93 residents of Hastings who died in the 1931 Hawke’s Bay earthquake. Grazing below are five concrete-cast sheep, characteristic to the rural market town. The quaintest feature is the fountain bisected by the railway line. The area is a significant and central meeting place in the city. Across the road is the beautiful and elaborate Westerman’s Building, built in Spanish Mission style."
