This article was written using the Council records in the Wellington City Archives. Max was able to unpick the confusion around this hidden Wellington location. It's great to see the Archives used to get to the facts behind the stories of Wellington!

@WCC_Archives I saw several bricks with those arrows recently!
What’s eerie about these bricks is that you can still fingerprints in them from where the prisoners moulded them

Did you know that horse-drawn trams used to travel down Cuba Street? Or that a close friend of the novelist Charlotte Brontë ran a store there in the 1800s? Dip your toes into the history of Cuba Mall and it's iconic Bucket Fountain 💦 brnw.ch/21wH1BC
