York Bay
About York Bay
Days Bay is a residential area in Lower Hutt in the Wellington Region of the North Island of New Zealand. It is walled on three sides by steep bush-clad slopes. Most of its level land is occupied by the 6.5-hectare Williams Park and an independent boys' primary school, originally a part of Williams Park. Wellington shipowner, J H Williams, bought land in Days Bay near the end of the 19th century to create custom for his smaller vessels, building a wharf and turning the bay into a sports and resort development for day-trippers and holiday-makers. Williams sold his interest in 1905 and the new owners split off building sites on unneeded land. The Eastbourne Borough Council bought the ferries in 1913 and the accommodation, Days Bay House, was sold to Wellington's Croydon School. The following year the Wellington City Council with central government support and public subscription bought the resort for the benefit of the public though without its accommodation and, in view of the large cash contribution by the founder's mother, named it Williams Park.
On the show
No. In the UK, in a pub without a license. Wow. There was a Tidly Winks match. In fact, it was a marathon. The Tidley Winks Marathon over 15 yards at the York Bay. Beer Festival on 3rd of November 1970. This was supposed to take place. This was an article in the Daily Mirror that I found. It was cold off because the police rang up and said, no, it's illegal to do that without a license.
