Description

A scene showing the development of Henry Walton's farm, when William Fox visited Maungatapere in 1864. A large amount of land has been cleared. Smoke to the right of the scene suggests burning of scrub, and a figure can be seen using a plough. In the distance is the harbour, with Mount Manaia and the Heads clearly depicted

Henry Walton's farm was on the slopes of Maungatapere hill and was called 'Maungatapere Park'. Together with his brother Charles, he came to New Zealand in 1840 and settled at Maungatapere near Whangarei.
