Mangatera railway station on the Palmerston North–Gisborne line, opened on 15 December 1884,[1] as part of the 7 mi 43 ch (12.1 km) Matamau-Tahoraiti (since renamed Tapuata) extension of the line from Napier.

It served what is now a northern suburb of Dannevirke, in the Manawatū-Whanganui region. The initial settlers were Danish.[2] Mangatera now has 1,785 people (2018 census) in 11 meshblocks.[3] Mangatera had a population of 21 in 1891,[4] 134 in 1911[5] and 47 in 1956.[6] It was 76 mi 37 ch (123.1 km) chains south of Napier and 35 mi 30 ch (56.9 km) north of Palmerston North Central.[7]

The station closed to passengers by 1976 and completely on 27 September 1981, though it had closed on 2 October 1977 and reopened 29 July 1979.[1] A single track runs through the station site.[8][9]

1885 Spit-Tahoraiti timetable

History

The area was part of the Ngāti Raukawa rohe.[10] In 1877 land was acquired for a railway ballast pit at Kopua.[7] In 1879 Kopua was a clearing of about 1 mi (1.6 km) by ¼ mile[11] in the Seventy Mile bush.[12] Sawmills were set up as soon as the line opened.[13] Wilding & Bull had a mill at

Mangatera was a flag station, which 2 trains a day each way from opening in 1884[14] until 1892 when it gained an extra train each way.[15][16][17][18] It lost a service in 1917 when the mail train was speeded up.[19]

By 1896 there was a shelter shed, platform, cart approach, cattle yards, urinals and a passing loop for 19 wagons, extended to 30 by 1898. A loading bank was added in 1905.[7] 1883 Recommending building a cottage for inspector in station yard,[7] which seems to have been described as a stationmaster's house by 1884.[20] A post office opened in 1889 run by Mr Friis.[21]

1895 Authority for removal of cattle yards from Tamaki to Mangatera. Complaints were made about the inadequate stockyards in 1910.[22] 17 May 1916 Considerable damage has been done to stockyards recently. 19 July 1965 Existing lighting – one light over stockyards. 27 August 1971 Proposal to reduce size of stockyards. 21 February 1972 Repairs and reduction to stockyards have been carried out. 15 June 1978 Very little use is being made of the stockyards. 28 June 1978 Stockyards are to be closed.[7]

Tiratu Sawmill had a siding from at least 1896 to 1956.[7] When Piri Piri mill opened in 1893 its timber was carted to Mangatera,[23] though a tramway was soon started from the station into the Piripiri bush.[24] 1894 Application by H A Banner for a siding at Mangatera station. Lease of right to lay tramway on railway land to T Tanner. 24 October 1896 Proposed tramway crossing for the Piri Piri Sawmill Coy, near Mangatera.[7]

J Mortensen leased the bush as far as Piripiri in 1885 and set up a sawmills at Matamau[25] (near the station),[26] Piripiri and Mangatera, in over 11,000 acres (4,500 ha) of the Seventy Mile Bush,[27] to cut tōtara, mataī, rimu and kahikatea.[28]

Mangatera planing-mill, the property of the Tiratu Sawmilling Company. About three miles from Mangatera, in the Umutaoroa Block, is the Umutaoroa Sawmilling Company (cutting from Native land and exporting timber to Wellington and Wanganui).[29]

Lycett & Cross's mill, beside the station and the Umotoroa Block, opened on 13 June 1887. It was in a corrugated iron roofed shed 120 ft by 34ft and used 10 and 14hp portable engines. The waste ran into a water-race.[30]

W F Greenaway applied for a new tramway in 1900.[31] Tiratu had a tramway in 1898,[32] a planing-mill by 1907[33] and applied for a tramway extension in 1901.[34] Rogers opened a new mill in 1901.[35]

A new mill in the Taratu bush under five miles from the station, was opened by H. Carlsen and F. W Knight in 1898, 110 ft by 40ft, with 10 and 14 horse power steam engines in a 12 acre clearing.[36] A siding for the mill was built the same year.[37]

In 1879 about 10 mi (16 km) of the line from about 2 mi (3.2 km) north of Piripiri to Oringi was surveyed.[38] Although the line to Tahoraiti was reported as ready to open on 1 December 1884,[7] it wasn't until 15 December 1884 that the 7 mi 43 ch (12.1 km) Matamau to Tahoraiti section opened, extending the line from Napier.[39][40]

A Royal Commissioner reported adversely on the Napier line extension to Woodville, which stopped until the end of 1881, except for a few short lengths for unemployment relief just before the 1881 election. Mangatawainui viaduct, between Makatoko and Matanui, cost about £8,000. In the middle of 1883 tenders were called for this portion of the line, but the contractors failed and the Government took over.[41] Joseph Jay & Henry James Haines had won the Tahoraiti contract for £13,615 on 8 June 1883.[42] Haines put the failure down to unusually bad weather.[43] The engineer from Kopua to Tahoraiti is Mr J. T. Carr, who has been assisted by Messrs J. Fulton, H. F. Moody, and D. Ross. The principal bridge contractors were Messrs Proudfoot and McKay, of Dunedin, Joseph Saunders, of Wellington, and H. M'Kenzie and Co., of Dunedin. Mr Glendinning, of Napier, was contractor for the permanent way. The excursion train at the opening of the extension carried about 500. On reaching the terminus there was a large assemblage of settlers and Maoris. Several carriages conveyed those who desired it back along the road to Allardice's Hotel which was the nearest place for dinner, 4 coach loads went to Woodville.[41]

Tuesday, 25 January 1938 Application for stacking site – Public Works Department.[7]

Collett & Son built a new engineering works at Mangatera in 1927.[44]

A bus started running in Dannevirke in 1898[37] and was serving Mangatera in 1904.[45] White Buses were running a service between Mangatera and Dannevirke in 1936.[46]

Mangatera Viaduct around 1910

Mangatera Viaduct

Mangatera Viaduct is one of 6 large viaducts on the 24.57 km (15.27 mi) between Kopua and Dannevirke.[47] It crosses the Mangatera Stream and is 100 m (330 ft) long and up to 25 m (82 ft) high.[48][49] It is now Bridge 145, a short distance north of Mangatera station.[50] An 1882 contract gave the job of building both Piripiri and Mangatera viaducts to M McKenzie of Dunedin for £9,350.[51] McKenzie cut the tōtara for the viaducts in a mill between Woodville and Dannevirke.[52]

In 1900 J & A Anderson & Co of Christchurch won a tender for a wrought iron replacement viaduct.[53]

Underpinning with reinforced concrete beams was tendered for in 1969.[54]

Mangatera Hotel 1895

Hotel

Matamau Hotel opened in October 1881.[55] From February 1885, due to loss of its license, it was moved to Mangatera,[56] opening here in May 1885.[57] Hotels at Norsewood and Ormondville had also closed, so that those in Dannevirke were busy.[58] New licenses were granted to the Junction and Mangatera Hotels in 1887.[30]

It was first built in the year 1889 by Mr. Lawritz Triis and was then only a small building of one storey.[59] It burned down on 19 April 1890,[60] afterwards rebuilt, and in 1896 was taken over by Mr. T. H. Limirick, who added a second storey. In June, 1904, was purchased by Mr. Jensen, the present proprietor. The hotel stands on a section of one acre. The ground floor contains three comfortable sitting rooms, a dining room capable of seating about twenty guests, the bar, kitchen, and other apartments. The first floor contains twelve comfortable bedrooms, a lavatory, and a bathroom. Mr. CHRISTIAN AUGUST Jensen was born in Denmark, on the 9th of July, 1865, came to New Zealand with his parents at the age of ten.[59] A new 10,[61] or 13-room, hotel[62] was built for Mr Polsen in 1890 after the fire.[63] It burnt down on 4 October 1954, when one resident was killed.[64]

A warehouse was built in the 1980s for a bottle store.[65]

Cemetery

Burials at Mangatera Cemetery was open by 1911.[66] It has 10 burials from the 1914-1918 war and 5 from the 1939-1945 war.[67]
