Landmarks
History Group – Rohan Luttrell – Carlton Hotel |
|
Rohan Luttrell is the first speaker for the Landmarks
History Group for 2010, and he will give a history of the Carlton
Club Hotel (now the site of Breakers on the corner of Karamu and
Heretaunga Streets).
The Carlton Club Hotel was built in 1882, and
survived the 1931 earthquake because of its wooden construction. The
Luttrell family took ownership in 1933 and the hotel was kept in the
family until the building was demolished circa 1970 to make way for
the present building, now occupied by Breakers.
Rohan Luttrell lived in the Carlton Hotel as a child
and witnessed some of the unusual goings on that occurred. These
include the antics of a touring French Rugby team staying at the
hotel and the 1950s Blossom Festival riot in Hastings, which started
in the Albert Hotel across the road.
The talk promises to be entertaining and
informative, with Rohan recalling his memories of growing up in the
hotel in Hastings.

HB Earthquake
The people of Haiti are very much in the thoughts and
prayers of Hawke's Bay people, as we remember the earthquake of 1931.
Tuesday 3 February 1931
- a typical calm hot Hawke's Bay summer day. At
46 minutes and 46.3 seconds after 10.00am
Hawke's Bay was devastated by two violent shocks in quick succession, followed
for days by after shocks.
The earthquake of magnitude 7.8*
was recorded all around the world.

Email Notices:
Library members now
have the option of receiving all notices by email rather than
post. We are excited about a great new feature: our courtesy
email service. You can receive an email three days before an item
is due, giving you time to return or renew the item. Let us know if you
want us to activate email notices.
