New Zealand - Auckland - This 1902 photograph is taken from the property of Roland Bramwell (later Bramwell Place), with The Drive and Manukau Road marked by the two lines of houses - Photo from "The History of Epsom" #603661 Manukau Road - The major road running through Epsom is Manukau Road. Manukau Road links central Auckland on the east coast with its airport and its west coast harbour, the port of neighbouring Onehunga. It was one of the 19th century's main routes south from Auckland. The main route was Great South Road which forms Epsom's north-eastern boundary with Remuera. The link to the Port of Onehunga meant Manukau Road became the route for horse buses, horse trams and, after 1902, electric trams. A large number of suburban houses and villas were built along it.
