Have many of my own shots but bought these from ODT when working in Dunedin for a couple of weeks and stayed there instead of returning home to Auckland.

Dunedin photos, as seen in Thompson's Dunedin book and also his 'Roycroft Years" book often had interesting things, like ships, in the background. Some years it was the Harbour Board dredge, sometimes a Caltex oil tanker, this time the good ship 'Almazniy' maybe another tanker. However I have only ever seen one picture with the Dunedin Railway Station in it, a very gloomy background shot. Perhaps in the 1950's it was very grimy from decades of smoky steam trains, not the present-day cleaned-up masterpiece of designer 'Gingerbread George' Troup - worthy of Monte Carlo at least. Are there any other pictures from the '50's?
