The similarities to 'Dedwood', and the excellent television programme <i>Deadwood</i> cannot be overlooked (if you haven't seen it, you really should). It too has a cast of drunks, junkies and whores... It's modern-day Ponsonby set in the wild west.Mrs Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864664806865081684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37107280.post-15564027692563916342007-02-01T02:04:00.000+13:002007-02-01T02:04:00.000+13:00Robyn

The area...Dedwood Terrace still exists to this day. The area surrounding it, kind of bordered by P Road, Franklin Road, and a bit o' St Marys Bay, is the unofficial suburb of Ponsonby. I saw a pre-motorway map of Auckland from the early 1950s with Dedwood marked.<br /><br />But Ponsonby's only got posh very recently. I'm not even that old not from Auckland originally, but I remember in the early '80s when Ponsonby was all run down and full of drunks and junkies and whores.
