About this audio guide
This guide to Ponsonby Central in Auckland starts with a wall of perforated steel reimagined as a Maori korowai cloak, and traces how a row of scruffy warehouse sheds behind Ponsonby Road became a market of restaurants, produce stalls and homeware shops. Along the way you'll meet a small bean-to-bar chocolate maker that moved its whole operation into the laneway after outgrowing its first home across town.
