Broadcaster and Village Radio volunteer, James Hartstonge, founded the Tauranga District Museum Oral History Unit in 1988. The unit recorded 66 interviews in three years. This interview with Myra and William (Bill) Denniston is one of these. It was recorded at their home in Monmouth Street, Tauranga. The initial recording is 46:19 minutes and continues onto a second recording that is 25:00 minutes.

Bill Denniston was the son of John Thomas Denniston and Maud Meehan and he married Myra Pomeroy. He had a sister Ellen Maud (Nell) and a brother George Arthur (Chum). The family arrived in Tauranga from Waitekauri in 1908 and Bill had a good knowledge of pre WW1 Tauranga, the growth of the Mount and the airport.
