Brass Bands & Fruit Bowls

Highbury Corner Under Norfolk Pine Station, Birkenhead Village.

New settlers brought their fruit harvesting skills to Aotearoa - these became part of the fabric of their new lives.

Under European settlement, the Fruit Growers Association formed, and Birkenhead became famous for its strawberries, plums and peaches.

At the end of successful harvests, brass bands serenaded the workers at social dances and balls.

Come and enjoy the brass bands sounds of a successful harvest in 1908 - 1950.
