New Angle on Housing Development?

Description

This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 18 June, 1963. "A half-inch wire rope attached to a bulldozer strained as it held 16 tons of prefabricated house at Kaihinau Road, north of Shannon. The house stopped just short of balancing point on the brink of a 200ft near-vertical drop when the edge of the road gave way beneath its transporters at 1 p.m. yesterday."
