Wairoa Meat Company

A symbol of Wairoa's proximity to the freezing works, and reliance upon animal slaughter as an employment option in a limited economy. This big blue butcher's shop has graced Wairoa's main riverside road for a long time, can anyone let NZPlaces know how long? Certainly it can be seen in the distance in this undated Tourist Series Image and has earned a spot on the New Zealand Heritage Register.
