This marae was built in the early 1880's, for the visit of King Tāwhiao to the district, which occurred in 1883 according to articles from the Manawatū Daily Times and the Feilding Star. The marae was situated in Awahuri, on the east bank of the Ōroua River, and was built by Ngāti Kauwhata. The wharenui (Te Iwa) fell into disrepair in the early 20th century, and was destroyed by an unnamed cyclone that impacted the Manawatū and the Wairarapa during 1936. ​ ​ _Edited by Lydia Smith, 2023._

The homestead at Hato Pāora (Saint Paul's) College. This building was originally constructed in 1913 for a local farming family on the outskirts of Feilding. In 1947, the property was bought by the Catholic church and transformed into Hato Pāori College, a boarding school for Māori boys. In it's prime, the pictured building housed the priests and four dormitories, and was named Ihaka House. Sadly, it was demolished in 2016 after concerns were raised with the school board regarding black rot bacteria and extensive water damage. Written on the back of this photograph: '_Originally stud sheep farmer's residence, now Catholic college to aid agricultural training to Māori boys.'_ ​ ​ _Edited by Lydia Smith, 2023._

This postcard shows an image of Te Rangi Tahau, lying on the porch of a whare puni. His wife, Ngaikiha Te Raukura peers out the window, while one of his sons sits in the doorway. Te Rangi Tahau holds a patu (Totoringa) in his hand. Te Rangi Tahau was at one time a follower of Te Kooti, but at the time of this photograph it is believed he was living peaceably on the shores of Lake Taupō, at Waipahihi. Te Rangi Tahau was the son of Ngawaka Te Kohanga Tahau and Parekaui Teito Wairoroki. He had two sons, one of whom was named Paora Tahau. A clearer version of this photograph can be found at https://natlib.govt.nz/records/22780489. ​ The original photographer was Herbert Deveril, but this image has been published in several books since its creation, and was sold as a postcard for some time. ​ ​ _Edited by Lydia Smith, 2023. _

This photo, supplied by Bernard Svendsen, shows the interior of the Feilding Power Station. The exact date of this photograph is unknown, but we can assume it was taken between 1914 (the year the Power Station was built) and the late 1920's, when the station was superceded with the completion of the central government Mangahao power scheme. A note on the back of this photograph reads: _Feilding Power House. Albert worked there for six years as the electrician and engineer. The generators (DC not AC) were driven by an engine which ran on crude oil (straight out of the ground at New Plymouth. It wouldn't flow till heated up)._ ​ ​ _Added to database by Lydia Smith, 2023._

The interior of the electrical appliance shop, McLeod and Svendsen, located on the corner of Kimbolton Road and Manchester Square. The fashions (cloche hats and hemlines), suggest this photo was taken between 1925 and 1930.

The shop was sold in 1977 to Leader & Watt. ​ _Added to the database by Lydia Smith, 2023._

A window display in McLeod & Svendsen, an electrical appliance store once located on the corner of Kimbolton Road and Manchester Square. The exact date is unknown, but it is likely the photograph was taken during the late 1950's or the early 1960's, due to the PhiliShave electric razors and portable (transistor) radio advertising displayed. A note on the back of the photograph reads: _McLeod & Svendsen's shop in the Square, Feilding. The frontage remains on new building in the Square today._ This photo was supplied by Bernard Svendsen, whose father Albert Svendsen co-owned the business from May 1923. ​ _Added to database by Lydia Smith, 2023._

The Hocken Bros were well-established horse traders in Manawatu region. They frequently held sales in and around Feilding, as well as at their farm in Grassmere. Auctioneering firm Gorton & Son seemed to work quite closely with the Hocken Bros, as newspapers from that time period mention them together frequently. ​ The date of this photograph is unknown.

Feilding Saleyards, located on Manchester Square near the Denbigh Hotel, date unknown. The first livestock sale made here was conducted in May 1880, by Jack Stevens and Colonel Gorton. They sold 100 head of cattle that day. Colonel Gorton went on to be a firm fixture at the saleyards - his firm Gorton & Son was one of four involved in regular weekly sales. The building in the photograph would have been where Gorton & Son conducted their business, as evidenced by the sign-writing on the front and the roof.

On September 26, 1907, Feilding was inundated with rain for three days straight, causing floodwaters to rise in town and in surrounding rural areas. At the Beattie Street crossing, the water was right across the surface of Kimbolton Road, the Railway Yards were covered in water, and the footpath from the Council Chambers to Manchester Square was immersed. The Makino Stream reached a level not touched in ten years prior to this flood. Property was damaged, and there were several slips that came down on the railway, disrupting train services and causing general frustration amongst travellers.
