Looking north down Queen Street, Auckland, New Zealand in 1973. The lack of people and traffic on the city’s main street may mean this is a Sunday. Queen Street is the major shopping and commercial thoroughfare in the Central Business District (CBD). The Strand Arcade is left. Next door the Cinerama Theatre is showing the movie ‘Deliverance’. This image is from an old amateur Kodak colour transparency – a vintage 1970s photograph.

Queen Street is the major shopping and commercial thoroughfare in the Central Business District (CBD). The Strand Arcade is left. Next door the Cinerama Theatre is showing the movie ‘Deliverance’. This image is from an old amateur Kodak colour transparency. It will look soft if used at too large a size – a vintage 1970s photograph.
