Date1965DescriptionColour photograph of Te Puke Post Office in 1965. "At that time my father, the Postmaster of Te Puke, was ten years from retirement, and suddenly realised the need to plan for it. One day he would no longer be confined to his office, the little creampainted wooden building on the main street with its red roof and red phone box by the door. He could live by the sea and be free." Photograph: Lois Farrow.
