A Double Celebration of Local Heritage
This special evening is more than just a book talk – it’s a celebration of Auckland’s vibrant history.
As part of Auckland Council’s Heritage Festival, Tania Mace will take us on a journey through the lesser-known tales and forgotten anecdotes that have shaped Grey Lynn, Arch Hill and Westmere into the beloved suburbs they are today.
Fresh from the launch of The Near West on 12 September, Tania is excited to share her extensive research and passion for local history with the community.
This free event offers a unique opportunity to engage directly with the author and gain deeper insights into Grey Lynn’s past.

One of the highlights of the evening will be the showcase of rare and captivating historical photographs.
These visual treasures offer a window into Grey Lynn’s past, illustrating how the neighbourhood has evolved over the years.
Be enthralled as Tania brings the stories behind these images to life with her expert commentary and engaging storytelling.
