FROM
CHEESE TO GIZMOS
Nestled in the
Mangaroa Valley, just a short distance from Upper Hutt, is an old dairy
factory that was once bustling with activity.
It still bustles with activity and is much the same as when it was built
in the early 1920's although it's now the home of the Wellington Vintage
Machinery club.
The factory has had an interesting past being used as a milk bottling
plant then a munitions store during the second world war.
It was ultimately occupied and restored by Wellington Vintage Machinery
Inc. and they now house their extensive collection of old machinery
along with other items of historical interest.
Doing this for a period of twenty years is a significant milestone and
Wellington Vintage Machinery held a a twentieth anniversary celebration
during Easter 2007 to mark the occasion. This video documents the life
of the factory and of the machinery club that now calls it home.
