Shed 10 is a shed on the Queen Mary Wharf in Auckland. While planning the organisers were going to take down the sheds but they decided to leave Shed 10 because of its histoical value. Shed 10 on Queen Mary wharf is going to be a Party Central for the Rugby World Cup 2011.
Queen Mary Wharf This is Queen Mary Wharf where Shed 10 is.
Constructed between 1906 and 1913, the wharf was initially an extension of Queen Street. An earlier wharf allowed people to stroll while ships from around New Zealand and overseas were loaded and unloaded. After being rebuilt, Queen’s Wharf continued as the city’s primary gateway, and for much of the 20th Century was central to Auckland’s economic development.
The sheds on Queen Mary Wharf are also the last link to a waterfront history that shaped Auckland, but which has all but disappeared. Visiting royalty, mountains of freight, and the comings and goings of thousands of travellers who have passed through its red gates – Queen’s Wharf’s heritage is linked with the 20th century.
