[edit] Milton kink

If anyone has a better picture of the Milton kink, feel free to replace the one I put there. An aerial photo would be great (although hard to get, I assume). Blarneytherinosaur 07:18, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

That said I managed to find these aerial photos of Milton. Too bad it's so small and (probably) copyrighted. Blarneytherinosaur 07:31, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm hoping to be travelling south through my old hometown in a couple of weeks (I'm in Dunedin now) - I'll see what I can do then. I was going to stop and take a photo of the church for the Robert Lawson article anyway (and possibly one of the school for the Toko High article too), so stopping at the kink wouldn't be much of a problem. Sorry I can't offer an aerial one though! (two edit conflicts... third time lucky?) Grutness...wha? 07:40, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Great! I think a good picture of the kink would be "worth a thousand words", so to speak. Blarneytherinosaur 08:15, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Done - took a bit longer to do than I though (thanks to my car needing repairs), and it wdasn't the easiest thing to photograph, but I think it's an improvement. I added a photo of the church, too. Grutness...wha? 08:14, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Re. the origin of the kink. My neighbour lived in Milton around the start of WW2 and assures me the kink was at the north end of the town then, and there was a large tree there. Garethvaughan 02:50, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Yup, definitely. My dad grew up in Milton about that time (ask your neighbour whether he knew a family called Dignan :) Grutness...wha? 23:27, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
