Mr Barton’s Half Way House – later ‘Glenharven House’ then ‘Grandford Private Hotel’
From the late 1800s through until the early 1900s Martinborough was served at various times by three large accommodation houses. Hotels which did not hold liquor licences. The first was a two storeyed building in Waihenga village – now lower Jellicoe Street – called the ‘Golden Sovereign Hotel’.

They’re off! Year four boys dash from the starting line
A dozen South Wairarapa school met to compete at the testing Kahutara School cross country course. While the weather gods have usually smiled kindly on this annual event this year proved to be the exception. Following a series of very cold southerly fronts the temperature was very low and the track very wet. The less sure footed ended up very muddy competitors.
Nevertheless, once again, it was a very successful event with some impressive young runners to the fore.
Lance Phelps enjoys a chat with a recent visitor to Ngawi. The conversation probably included such topics as the current state of fish stocks and a fair distribution of catch.
