Methven, 1950

 

No particular reason for posting this except that it looks nice.  A view by Whites Aviation looking northwest towards the Southern Alps along what is now Methven Chertsey Road towards the town centre, intersected by what is now State Highway 77.  On the left foreground side of this intersection can be seen the former terminus of the Methven branch line, coming in next to the road from the bottom left.  This was a standard rural branch, but which survived a bit longer than many others, not being closed until 1976.  For more, see our books.
