Māngere Bridge (bridges)

The Onehunga Harbour Road Bridge is a walking and cycling bridge over Onehunga Harbour Road, a heavily trafficked road at the southwestern edge of Onehunga, New Zealand. The bridge provides easy and safe access from Onehunga to both the Waikaraka Cycleway running west–east, and Old Mangere Bridge to the south, which in turn links over the Mangere Inlet mouth of the Manukau Harbour. The bridge is 3.5m wide, and distinguished by its sweeping, curved structure.

The Onehunga Ironworks was a colonial-era iron smelting and rolling operation at Onehunga, on the Manukau Harbour, (now a suburb of Auckland, New Zealand). It was at one time claimed to be the largest ironworks in the Southern Hemisphere. It is significant, both as the first large scale attempt to exploit New Zealand's iron-sand by direct reduction, and as a precursor of the modern steel industry of New Zealand. The ironworks was located adjacent to the original Onehunga railway station. It operated—but not continuously—from 1883 to around 1895. It was partially demolished around 1903 but its brick chimney and some of its other structures were still standing in the late 1960s.

Onehunga Wharf railway station on the Onehunga Branch section of the Onehunga Line was the terminal station for the line to Auckland from 28 November 1878 to 1927. A petition in 1870 objected to the extension from Onehunga, on the grounds that it would take business away from the town.From 1886 until the completion of the North Island Main Trunk line in 1909, travelling to and from Auckland and the lower North Island involved a train journey north to New Plymouth then by coastal ship from New Plymouth to Onehunga.The opening and closing dates given by Scoble are: opened June 1874, to passengers April 1892 and closed to goods on 28 December 2006 and on 31 March 1971 to passengers, although the Heritage Trust and another source say that the station closed in 1927. From 10 December 1927 its accounts were merged with Onehunga and it was treated as a flag station for accounting.By 1899 there was a 4th class station building, urinals, 40 ft (12 m) x 30 ft (9.1 m) and 31 ft (9.4 m) x 16 ft (4.9 m) goods sheds, loading bank, weighbridge, wagon turntable, cattle and sheep yards. From 1976 locomotives were kept at least 20 m (66 ft) from the concrete base of the wharf.

Te Hopua a Rangi, also known as Gloucester Park is one of the volcanoes in the Auckland volcanic field in Auckland, New Zealand, and is located in Onehunga. Its 300 m wide, sediment-filled explosion (maar) crater was used as a boat harbour in early European times and known first as Onehunga Basin then as Geddes Basin. It was reclaimed in the 1930s and named Gloucester Park in 1935 after the visit to New Zealand by the Duke of Gloucester in that year. From 1975 into the early 80's the South-western motorway was built right through the middle of the park and crater. The southern side was turned into a sports ground, and the western side as a wetland with activity space for Aotea Sea Scouts who took ownership of the Manukau Yacht and Motor Boat Club (MYMBC) club house, in 1977 (the white building in the postcard). According to Mogford, during Edward Morton's term of office as Mayor of Onehunga Borough, 1929-1935: ...the controversial decision was made to use the old crater near the wharf for a council rubbish tip. There was some protest that this unique geological formation was to be destroyed and lost forever in this reclamation, but the authorities and general public were not so environmentally aware of our heritage as they are today. In the span of a few years the crater was cut off by road, filled in, levelled, grassed and renamed with due ceremony Gloucester Park in honour of the King's brother, the Duke of Gloucester, who had paid a goodwill visit to New Zealand at the end of 1934. Gloucester Park speedway was opened on 5 January 1935 by the Governor-general. Onehunga Borough, however, were still filling and reclaiming at the park up to at least 1941.The army occupied Te Hopua a Rangi between 1941 and 1946 building barracks along its western side close to the sea, and occupying the MYMBC club house, until 1945, when the MYMBC celebrated the return of the building with a grand re-opening dance on 21 July 1945. Evidence of the camp was all but gone in an aerial photograph from 1948. During the army occupation the Speedway was closed, but reopened again after this and was still active in 1961. the 2016 Auckland Council Unitary Plan defined Te Hopua a Rangi as an Outstanding Natural Feature as follows “Item 46 - Hōpua explosion crater and tuff exposure - Hōpua volcano is a small explosion crater with a low tuff ring about 500m in diameter. The original crater was breached by the sea and filled with marine sediments. Although damaged by reclamation and motorway construction, the tuff ring is still discernible as a volcanic feature. An inter-tidal exposure of Hōpua tuff in the Manukau Harbour foreshore contains large blocks of basalt.”

Māngere Bridge is a suburb of Auckland, New Zealand, under the local governance of the Auckland Council. Surrounded by the Manukau Harbour, the area is the most north-western suburb of South Auckland, and is connected to Onehunga in central Auckland by three bridges that cross the Māngere Inlet. Many features of the Auckland volcanic field are found in and around Māngere Bridge, including Māngere Mountain, a 106-metre-high (348 ft) feature in the centre of the suburb, and Māngere Lagoon, a volcanic tidal lagoon opposite Puketutu Island in the harbour. The suburb is also home to Ambury Regional Park, a working farm and nature sanctuary run by Auckland Council, that connects to the Kiwi Esplanade and Watercare Coastal walkways. After being inhabited for hundreds of years by Tāmaki Māori, the area became a Ngāti Mahuta settlement to provide defense of Auckland from the late 1840s until the invasion of the Waikato in 1863. From later in the 19th century, Māngere Bridge became an important rural area for supplying Auckland with produce and dairy, and from the 1920s it became a popular location for Chinese-run market gardens. Māngere Bridge developed suburban housing in the 1950s and 1960s, experiencing growth helped by its proximity to Auckland Airport, which opened in 1966. After the closure of open-air wastewater-treatment ponds in the early 2000s, the part of the harbour surrounding Māngere Bridge underwent significant ecological restoration. The suburb is multicultural; many residents are large families, and the housing stock is dominated by brick-and-tile homes built in the 1960s and 1970s. In 2019, the suburb name was officially gazetted as Māngere Bridge.
