A photograph showing Jean Sprott in her 'red zoned' home, soon to be demolished following the series of earthquakes in Christchurch.
A photograph captioned, "So they gradually go".
Caption reads: "I lived in London all through the Blitz, you get used to these things. Living here after the earthquakes didn’t bother me. I had a small battery operated radio and the neighbour lent me her generator. Initially I used it to run the fridge but after a while I couldn’t get it started. I don’t want to move, to be quite honest. There’s nothing that will be able to replace the life I built here."

Caption reads: "Bexley was a hidden gem. A diamond in the rough. It was a paradise, a place where you could hear the sea and smell the salt."
Caption reads: "We were meant to live here all our lives, our working life, our retirement. That’s no longer possible."
A photograph captioned, "See, Dallington still is beautiful".
Caption reads: "We wanted a home where we could retire and live the rest of our lives."
