Dunedin Author: Graham Stewart isbn: 9781869341176

Dunedin, at the head of the Otago harbour, is a city of dignified charm with elegant Edwardian and Victorian stone, brick and concrete buildings, majestic cathedrals and churches. Private residences with towers and turrets of architectural splendour, cast iron lacework balustrades, ornamental fretwork and finials; old villas and cottages. The city was founded on gold discoveries in Central Otago by sturdy Scottish stock and is known as the Edinburgh of the south.

This book gives an insight into a city through the decades: the imposing building facades, hills that rise steeply from the harbour centre, a look back at the city streets showing a city that has largely been saved from the demolition ball of the 1950s and 1960s. Like San Francisco, Dunedin's little cable cars once climbed the hills right up to the stars!
