Dunedin Then & Now Part One

Take a step back through time and experience a new take on Dunedin heritage.
This is the first of a three-part 'Then and Now' series, matching scenes from interesting archival films with their present-day views throughout Dunedin Ōtepoti.
Here we feature the iconic Octagon and Princes Street as captured in 1912: some of the oldest surviving film of Dunedin!
Special thanks to our friends at Toitū Otago Settlers Museum for all their help in the planning of this video. Check them out for more historic Dunedin taonga.
