From tram stop and tea rooms to the bright local that Seatoun kids still run to today. Over a hundred years on the same corner. Same spot, same joy.
- 1907
The trams arrive. The electric tram reaches Seatoun through the new tunnel, with the terminus right on this corner, and the little seaside village gets its meeting place.
- 1910s
Tea rooms by the sea. This corner served tea to day-trippers stepping off the tram. Local memory even recalls weddings held here.
- 1920
The dairy. By now the corner shop is trading, captured in a photograph held by Wellington City Libraries. For generations, kids came 'off the tram and into the dairy after college,' and it's been loved by locals ever since.
- Today
Still here. Same corner, same spot. Still family-run, still real NZ ice cream. A century by the sea.
