CENTRAL LIBRARY HOURS Monday - Friday 10am - 7pm Saturday & Sunday 10am - 4pm
“Memories of Main Street” was a
recent event held by the Library’s
Heritage Collections on the second
floor of The Mall. This exhibition
of historic photographs was a
celebration of Upper Hutt’s main
business and shopping thoroughfare
and the many changes it has been
through over the years. It also
provided an opportunity for local
people to bring in and share their own
memories of the people, shops, and
events that have made Main Street
what it is, so that this knowledge
could be collected and preserved for
future generations.
The occasion served as a useful
reminder for us here at the Library
that our own history has also been
closely involved with Main Street.
Upper Hutt’s first Public Library
opened in 1952 on the top floor of
the Benge Building, at the corner of
Main and Russell Streets. In 1956
it moved down Main Street to new
premises next door to the Borough
Council offices on the corner of
Blenheim Street, where it stayed until
making the shift to Fergusson Drive
in 1969.
Did you ever use the Library when it was
on Main Street? If so, we’d be interested
to hear your reminiscences about what it
was like and how it has changed. Talk to
Reid or Lauren at the Library or send us
an email at [email protected]. We’d
love to hear from you!
