Freemans Bay is the name of a former bay and now inner city suburb of Auckland, in the North Island of New Zealand. The historical bay was filled in to a large extent, and lost its shoreline to reclamation works. Historically a poor and often disreputable quarter, it is now a wealthy neighbourhood known for its mix of heritage homes and more recent single-dwelling houses, as well as for its two large parks.
Famous quotes containing the word bay:
“A great work by an Englishman is like a great battle won by England. It is an unfading bay tree.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
