I went to Maori Hill today, to look at the house where Margaret Gabites (nee Bragg) died in 1927.
Funnily enough it looks exactly the same as the google maps image - fenced and hedged, with a pair of garages and not much to see beyond.
The houses there today look quite old, and quite flash. The thing is the numbers seem to jump from 5 to 19 - I couldn't see number 13 anywhere at all. I wonder if humbler dwellings were demolished and their numbers with them, or if they where so cunningly hidden behind the hedges that I missed them altogether.
It's a lovely part of town - near Highgate - with amazing views across the city and at least one cafe I'd like to visit next time...
