Welcome to the publication online for Rotorua People (Living South of the Old Railway 1880s to 1940) – a book written by Peggy Allen between 1985 and the 1990s.
As Peggy wrote in her first edition:
To all the people of Rotorua who have been so splendid in giving their support and information while showing a keen enthusiasm for the project. Without this stimulation I doubt if I could have completed such a long task. Even so, I realise and regret that there are many others whose stories would have been just as valuable. To all my supporters I give my deepest thanks.
This book was initially self published and a photocopy could be purchased from the local bookstore. It has been scanned and edited by AI by Peggy’s son-in-law, and is available on Amazon in print form here.
