It seems only fitting that our first post on our new page comes from a series everyone loves 👀

📍 Where in Grey Lynn?

If you were following along with our last Where in Grey Lynn? post you might've seen some locals mentioning outdoor arcade games...you may have a head start on this one 🎮

Circa 1989 when outdoor arcade machines were still a thing. With the dairy right behind for supplies, no one was getting home anytime soon.
A pretty iconic bit of Grey Lynn street life.

Any guesses where they are?

📍 106 Surrey Crescent, Grey Lynn.

📍Where in Grey Lynn?

A little slice of Richmond Road, Grey Lynn, circa 1989.

Same street, very different era. Before it became the bustling strip we know today, this was the scene. A skateboard, a quiet stretch of footpath and plenty of space to perfect your kickflips 😎

Do you know this spot? Tell us where you think it is and if you’ve got memories of Grey Lynn from the 80s or 90s we’d love to hear them.

We sat down with Julie to reflect on forty years of local design, dressing generations of customers and an ever-changing neighbourhood.

Two Grey Lynn businesses. One international shortlist. 🌏

Our local bakery by day, bar by night Mother has been shortlisted in the 2026 Restaurant & Bar Design Awards - one of the world’s leading international awards celebrating food and beverage spaces.

And there’s an extra Grey Lynn connection: Mother’s owner-operator Hugo Baird collaborated with Grey Lynn based architectural and interior design studio CTRL Space to bring the space to life.

A big part of the Mother concept was making the workings of the venue part of the experience - opening up the bakery and kitchen so production, service and
atmosphere all happen together. According to Hugo, the ambition was to create somewhere that could “sit comfortably on an international stage, while still feeling at home in Grey Lynn.”

Mother’s already been on a roll this year taking out the Hospitality category at the 2026 New Zealand Interior Design Awards and receiving a Highly Commended at the Interior of the Year Awards.

Congrats to Mother + CTRL Space and good luck for October!

Winners will be announced the week commencing 5 October.
