Swimming Costume 1930's

This map of the original Campbell’s Beach subdivision on Auckland’s North Shore dates from around 1930 – the same era as the swimming costume might have been worn there – and includes the old tram route, a reminder of the time when the East Coast Bays weren’t yet part of the city’s great suburban sprawl.
