The Duke turns 170
The Duke of Marlborough Hotel in Russell celebrated two milestones on Saturday night - 170 years since New Zealand's first liquor licence was issued on October 30, 1840, and the first stage of a major revamp by its new owners. The guest list included Duke staff from as far back as the 1950s, former All Black and Samoa rep Dylan Mika and former Northland captain John Campbell. Peter de Graaf joined the party.
