Tāmaki Makaurau has a complicated and busy history. But it's a past that has been constantly built over, dug up or destroyed. Historian, author and curator at Auckland Museum Lucy Mackintosh has spent decades poring over the landscapes of Auckland.

Parnell and proceeded along Manukau Road to Maungakiekie.
