Interesting use of photographs of Cargill’s Castle

Posted on by

The Otago Daily Times recently published the story of Warren Justice and his scale model of Cargill’s Castle

Warren based his model on historical photographs of the well known landmark (also known as the Cliffs) which he found at the Hocken. While researchers use information from the Hocken for a wide variety of purposes this is probably one of the more unusual. It’s good to hear that the Cargill’s Castle Trust may be able to use the model in its’ work towards the preservation of the Castle.
