SUMMARY:Mr Ward's Map
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Cox is a Wellington historian and author of “Mr Ward’s Map: Victorian Wellington Street by Street”. It is full of the city’s social and architectural history\, told through the incredibly detailed map drawn by surveyor and engineer Thomas Ward in the 1890s. Many people interested in Wellington heritage will be familiar with the map\, as it gives such an accurate picture of the city at that time. It shows every house\, commercial building\, garden shed and outdoor toilet\, and lots of other details. The 1890s were a time of great growth in the Mount Vic area\, so there are lots of interesting details shown of the suburb.\nSunday November 23 at 2.30pm\nThe Friends’ (Quakers) Hall\, Moncrieff Street

SUMMARY:AGM and talk by Barbara Brookes: The heyday of the YWCA Hostel (115 Brougham St)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a short AGM followed by a talk by Barbara Brookes\, Professor Emerita in History at the University of Otago.\nOver the year 1916-1917\, 1051 young women passed through the Wellington Young Women’s Christian\nAssociation’s Hostels\, including the one at 115 Brougham Street.

SUMMARY:AGM plus talk by Sally McLean on the Majoribanks Street Refuge
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a short Annual General Meeting\, following by a talk and afternoon tea. \nOur guest speaker is historian\, Sally McLean\, who will talk about the contentious history of the Majoribanks Street refuge\,operated as the Wellington Christian Society’s Home for Fallen Women and then as a Salvation Army rescue home from 1885 to 1894. \nEarly in the morning on 19 November 1905\, 19-year old Isabella Goodman\, an unmarried live-in maid and laundress\, quietly gave birth. She woke no-one in her Newtown house as she left her baby daughter and went to a nearby pond to drown herself.\nHer room-mate told the inquest that she had not known Isabella was pregnant as she was ‘in the habit of lacing very tightly’.\nIsabella’s death focused public attention on the provision of emergency maternity services and the care available\, or lack thereof\, to ‘friendless’ and unmarried girls and women.\nIn the wake of the publicity following Isabella Goodman’s death\, Dr Edith Huntley and her friends got together to consider what could be done about the plight of unsupported women giving birth outside wedlock. By early 1906\, they were working on a plan to take over a valuable but dilapidated property in Majoribanks Street. The property was held by a moribund trust that had been set up in 1885 to help ‘fallen’ women\, but by 1906 was used as a boarding house.
