This image taken by professional photographer Frederick George Radcliffe (F.G.R.) looks towards Devonport Road and the "Triangle Building," located on the corner of The Strand and Devonport Road. Radcliffe is credited with taking more than 8,000 images of rural and urban New Zealand, many of which were sold as postcards. There are at least fifty-eight Tauranga postcards by Radcliffe that, among other things, show scenes of Mauao, the Tauranga harbour and buildings such as the Star Hotel and the Old Post Office.
