Earthquake damage to the road from Cheviot to Port Robinson, 1901. Taken by an unidentified photographer.
This is a copy of a photograph from `The Weekly Press', Nov 27, 1901
Note on back of file print reads: "Fissures on the road from Cheviot to Port Robinson. There is a creek on the right side of the road, and below the fissure the road has fallen towards it.....and is 2 1/2' below its proper level. The fissures are 2 1/2' deep" (Probably the caption from `The Weekly Press')
Quantity: 1 b&w original negative(s).
Damage to the Visitors Centre in Kaiapoi, after the September 4th earthquake. The foundations have lifted at the back of the building, giving it a forward lean.
A digitally manipulated image of diggers sitting on top of rubble beside the old Railway Station. The photographer comments, "Which one will be buried 6 foot under?".
Damage to the Visitors Centre in Kaiapoi, after the September 4th earthquake. The foundations have lifted at the back of the building, giving it a forward lean. Cables have been attached to the balcony over the walkway and braced to posts cemented into the ground. This is to stop the building from slumping further.

The old Christchurch Railway Station Clock Tower was damaged during the 7.1 magnitude quake on 4 September 2010 and was braced by the wooden sleeve until repaired. However, although the sleeve did its job during the 6.3 magnitude quake on 22 February 2011, the lower part of the tower started to break away.
The clock tower of the former Railway Station, encased in plywood to prevent further damage. A banner sponsored by The Press hangs below the clock, covered with words which symbolise the September earthquake. The photographer comments, "After the September earthquake the clocked stopped at 04:35 and everyone campaigned to have this clock left as it was. At that time the building was believed to be OK. Two more earthquakes later and the possible memorial will probably end up like a lot of Christchurch's heritage buildings on a huge pile of stone and bricks in Bottle Lake Forest".
