Description
A colour slide showing McLean’s Trading Post on Cameron Road, Tauranga. The store was owned by Donald Armstrong Akuira McLean (b.1921-d.1973). The image is of a street scene with vehicles driving past the Trading Post. The horse and cart signage on the roof of the building is believed to have been drawn by Michael Hodgkins who was a local identity. The store was later known as Abels.
