Summary

[edit]
Description

Paranui was a farming community in North Auckland listed in 1908 as ’10 miles by horse from Mangonui’. The postal service provided many jobs for women and girls, especially in the country areas where women were often in sole charge positions in post offices. The photo is presumed to be the postmistress, Miss Annie Elizabeth Blyth, sending off the mail with a young rider.

The image was used in a project called ‘Women in Focus’ and was transferred to Archives New Zealand by the Ministry of Women’s Affairs. The original photo is held in the Alexander Turnbull Library.
