Burnett Street lies in the bustling heart of our town, having catered to the needs of our growing population since the early 1870s.

Although few physical remnants from that earliest era remain, our display of stories, photos and archives will capture the changing landscape, lives and businesses of one of Ashburton’s busiest streets.

Join us at 6pm on Wednesday 26 October for the opening of ‘Spotlight on Burnett Street’ and a talk from Archivist Connor Lysaght about how to preserve different types of photographic material. 

All welcome at this free event, refreshments will be provided.
