Damage to the footpath and curbing on Charles Street in Kaiapoi. The curb has slumped next to the sump, causing cracking and the displacement of tiles.
Close up of the foundations of a house on Avonside Drive. The top of the house has shifted during the quake, leaving a displacement between the house and the foundations about five centimetres wide.

This used to be a perfectly straight and flat road!
The ground slipped laterally at this previously unknown faultline across Highfield Road in mid-Canterbury, resulting in a relative displacement of at least 2 metres and the magnitude 7.1 earthquake on Saturday 4 September 2010. Note the now misaligned fence posts, hedge and road.
Detail of damage to a house in Richmond. A double-brick wall has collapsed, and a gap is visible between the house and its foundation. The photographer comments, "These photos show our old house in River Rd and recovery work around Richmond and St Albans. The house and the concrete patio are now 15cm apart. The house took half the dining room's remaining bricks with it as it jumped off the foundations. It gives a good visual indication of the displacement".
