A Havelock North couple are hoping to reunite an old photo they found with its rightful owners.
Peter Hawkes said during a spring clean last weekend, his wife, Jean Hart, discovered the mysterious photo taped to the back of a book bought from a sale "years ago".
"My wife found it in an old book on the bookshelf," Mr Hawkes said.
"I think it's been there for a very long time."
The couple decided it was too special to just bin it and contacted Hawke's Bay Today in the hope of tracking down the women in the photo.
