Catholic Worship in Northcote-Birkenhead by David Verran

The Catholic Cemetery

Northcote 1821 - 1964 by David Verran

Early Days in Northcote 1936 - 1957 by Ray Johanson

Mr. George Wood, the North Shore mayor, addressing members at the launching of our book on October 15th. Ann Hartley, MP also spoke. It was a wonderful day. Many thanks to all those who contributed to its success, especially those who brought the afternoon tea.

If you do not yet have your copy of the book, they are available at the Museum on Sunday afternoons, or contact Glad.

These books make wonderful Christmas presents.
