DescriptionOne of a set of 64 images from what must have been a mid-1950s film-strip presentation by Lower Hutt City Council on over 110 years of progress.
Original description:-
"When the line was first constructed all road-rail junctions were 'level crossings'. The Normandale crossing, seen here at the end of the nineteenth century, was one of the few level crossings remaining in the Hutt Valley in the 1960s."
Normandale Road railway crossing, approximately midway between Lower Hutt and Melling railway stations.
This crossing survived until the erection of the overbridge which provides access from Lower Hutt to Normandale.
The photograph long predates the construction of the Western Hutt Road from Melling to Petone in 1938 - nowadays the motorway.
Image has been darkened, with reduced contrast.Date Takenc1880s
