Decades ago this was where a lot of fishing boats docked and the buildings were fish markets, meat shops, fruit and vegetable shops and random warehouses. This generation of Aucklanders will know the Viaduct harbour as a place of bars and restaurants and weekend nightlife. Although some may claim it's a bit of a meat market of a different sort.
