Wellington's Open Spaces : Our Forgotten Heritage

This item was originally released as the proceedings of a one-day seminar and 'workshop' organised by the Wellington Civic Trust and held on 24th September 1990.  The aim of the seminar was to encourage greater recognition and protection to the 'open spaces' of Wellington in an era when such spaces were often being considered for potential commercial development.
