Photographer Donald Laing says, "I boarded, along with a friend, Graeme Wallis from Feilding Agricultural High School. It was rented by an elderly couple who told me the houses had not been repaired or had money spent on them as there was a city plan for a major road to be put through Abel Smith St, so the houses fell into disrepair. The one we lived in, probably number 55, was similar, lacking paint and some unrepaired items. Of course, both houses were demolished in the decades following the 1960s."SubjectHousingAbel Smith Street
