The old New Brighton Power Boat Club building was badly damaged in the February 2011 earthquake, and is only now (July 2012) being demolished.

The community centre in my old neighbourhood. Now it's an empty lot.
In the days after the devastating earthquake on 22 February 2011, we lost water in my neighbourhood. However, I was able to supplement the water in our emergency kit with water from this spigot in Somerfield Cemetary. Thank you, William Russell.

Well, I was a gloomy soul
