Looking back

The Ensign is starting a new feature this week with photos from its archives.

This week features a photo from March 1913, when the town flooded after heavy rain swept across the South.

There were reports of a 1m wave of water surging down the Mataura River.

Those who want to contribute a photo from any era — today to 100 years ago — can email them to news@theensign.co.nz
