Avondale Racecourse 1957
Get lost in the views of this expansive vintage art print of Avondale Racecourse, Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland in 1957. The photograph was captured by Whites Aviation who were known for their aerial photography of New Zealand.
Established in 1888, the Avondale Racecourse in Auckland boasts a rich history that extends beyond horse racing. It served as a military training ground in World War I and even a temporary hospital during the 1918 flu pandemic. Briefly in 1913, the racecourse witnessed a piece of aviation history with one of New Zealand's first aeroplanes taking flight there. Today, the Avondale Jockey Club continues to hold races on the track and hosts the famous Avondale Sunday Markets.
