Talk:Petrie Bight Retaining Wall

Northern extent of the retaining wall
There is a question how far north the wall extended. Part of it is above Howard St. It may have extended further, along the north extension of Adelaide St. There is a tuff wall at the north end of Arch Lane nearby. It does not appear to incorporate arches, judging by the Google Earth imagery. The name of the lane and the position and material of this wall suggest that is some sort of continuation of the Petrie Bight retaining wall. ClarkoEye (talk) 20:23, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

I think the bit at the end of Howard Street forms part of the wall as described in the article. But I agree the tuff wall in Arch Lane does make you wonder if there was more to it. Or maybe this is a retaining wall with an entirely different history? Kerry (talk) 23:48, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

A bit of google searching turned up this info which seems to confirm it is a separate retaining wall built by the gas company but in a similar timeframe. I will add something to the article about it. Kerry (talk) 23:56, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
