Early Wellington wharves

This view of part of Wellington, taken c.1869, shows the corner of Willis and Manners Streets and the surrounding area. The Rhodes, Hickson, Hunter and Fitzherbert wharves can be seen on the left of the image.

The parts for the Pencarrow Lighthouse were unloaded at the Rhodes and Company Wharf on 21 June 1858 and eventually transported to Pencarrow Head in September that year.
