trams in Kilbirnie South, Wellington, 1911


Looking towards the Miramar peninsular. Even long time Wellingtonians would be confused by this scene as apart from the skyline, all has changed in the century since this pic.  For details, see the books Wellington: a Capital Century and Wellington Transport Memories.

Peninsula (the noun), not peninsular (the adjective). Perhaps a publisher should know better?

The Oxford English Dictionary gives both as acceptable spellings, look it up.
