Tinakori Road Shopping Centre heritage area is one of Wellington's oldest commercial areas outside the city centre. The street was first settled in the 1840s, although the suburban centre was established later, in the 1860s, and grew around the intersection of Ascot Terrace and Tinakori Road. Never large, the commercial centre even today does not occupy the entire block south of Upton Terrace. The commercial activity in the area was spurred principally by the presence of the Shepherd's Arms, and before it, the Karori Hotel, which were frequented by locals, and travellers moving between the city and Karori. At this time, this section of the street was populated with small cottages and houses, which over time gave way to larger commercial buildings, reflecting the steady intensification of settlement in wider Thorndon. By the turn of the 20th century the suburb was densely packed, with more and more buildings occupying ever-tinier sections. The suburb fell into decline through the middle decades of the 20th century, in part due to the lure of the city's outer suburbs, and this decline was reflected in the general appearance of the heritage area. Following the construction of the Wellington urban motorway, which dramatically severed west Thorndon from the east, the suburb had a rejuvenation. A new type of resident arrived, attracted by the suburb's age and its picturesque streets and buildings. Tinakori Road's buildings attracted new uses - restaurants, galleries and speciality stores. In more recent years, new buildings (often based on old styles) have filled gaps in the street and the Shopping Centre heritage area now has a relatively consistent appearance to it. The area contains some buildings of considerable local and regional significance. The Shepherd's Arms has occupied its site since 1870 and has been the major constant in the area's history. The group of six tall and slender houses at 296-306 Tinakori Road (1902) is amongst the most unusual and interesting in Wellington. Manchester House, once the Thorndon Post Office, had a most important role in the suburb in the late 19th and early 20th century. There are several buildings that date back to the 1860s and 70s, reflecting the antiquity of the wider suburb. Many of the buildings in the core of the commercial area are modern. While the new buildings contribute little to the historical authenticity of the area per se, the scale of building, and the use of compatible materials, building styles and details have helped to keep these new buildings relatively unobtrusive. The sense of character of the area is the better for this low-key approach (particularly in comparison with other areas of Wellington that have been treated less sensitively). The commercial area of Tinakori Road is one of the best known and recognisable heritage areas in the city. The buildings and houses that make it up include both the very old and the brand new. As the heart of west Thorndon, the area exemplifies the unique character of the residential portion of the suburb.
