St Andrews - Howick

In 1854 the first services were held under the ministry of Irish Presbyterian the Rev John Macky (based in Papatoetoe) in a house property in Drake Street, Howick. In 1872 two acres of land were purchased and in 1873 St Andrews Church was built.
In 1903 it was extended to cope with prospective growth and the church served as a worship centre for nearly 110 years. This historic chapel was rededicated as part of 150th jubilee on March 27th 2004.

Very little PP work just a slight tweak to details and colour using the Topaz Detail filter in Photoshop.

Nice simple clear clean shot of this istoric little church. At the time I guess Howick was a completely separate town from Auckland, quite some distance to get to.

Shooting conditions here weren't easy - you did well to get a clear view of the 'spire' through the trees!
