Englishman Sir John Coode had a plan. To protect Otago Harbour’s entrance from silting by directing the tidal flow, in 1880 Sir John cleverly designed two moles at the head of the harbour; one jutting out from Taiaroa Head and the other at Aramoana. Unfortunately the Harbour Board had over extended their budget at the time and consequently only the mole at Aramoana was built.

I called in to the Dunedin Railway Station to have a look around while the rain passed overhead. Inside, one of my favourite things to look at is the wonderful stained glass window that sits above the entrance foyer on the second floor. Dating back to 1906, it was lovingly restored in 2013 at the cost of $24,000 and took over 200 hours to bring back to its former glory.

These steps are one half of all the remains of the old vehicle bridge that once spanned the gap from the warehouse precinct to the harbourside. Originally made of Port Chalmers bluestone, the vehicle bridge was built between 1883 and 1886 and demolished in 1977 when it was replaced by the Jetty St overbridge.
