The hillside climb
Hackthorne Road is the hillside’s register in one climb, the named houses along the row, the Sign of the Takahe at the top, and the house the register names for Ngaio Marsh just below. Steep, and the pins are the straight line, the road climbs more.
The walk, as a line
Straight between pins, the streets run longer. Every numbered pin opens that place’s own record.
