The Mack tractor unit with "half a house" ready to depart in the middle of the night, when the roads are quiet. But where is this house heading too?
Another city walk around, this time with my brother-in-law from Auckland. Also went to the Quake City exhibition in the city organised by the Canterbury Museum. First fine day for a while.

For 36 years I worked in a now gone building where that red car is parked (on the left). and would have walked this route thousands of times, yet now it is...

This bus is used as a chocolate restaurant, and is parked next to the Pallet Pavilion on the site of the old Park Royal Hotel.

Another empty Red Zone section. Avonside Drive, Dallington.
A suburban "red zone" house from Velsheda Street (#11), Pacific Park, is finally cut in half and loaded ready for transport out and a future life somewhere else in the South Island, whether it be close by or way down south in Gore or Clinton (where a few have gone already). The house has been stripped of it's bricks and jacked up for over four m...
There is some beauty in the desolate and near empty Dallington Red Zone.

Being prepared for removal. Is in red zone so has to go.d
The house had minimal damage, but the land it was on was deemed to be no good - red zoned.
19 Velsheda Street, Pacific Park, Bexley is about to be trucked out.
Full of weeds after nearly two years of neglect. First time I have been in Victoria Square in over two years.
I think all the National Banks in the country have been either closed or rebranded ANZ, but this one on the corner of Colombo and Armagh Streets is still inside the CBD red zone and has yet to be touched. I have heard that this building is staying so whether it becomes an ANZ or not time will tell.
This was one of the top five busiest pedest...
A week ago this building was intact, now partially demolished. Will be an empty site in a week or two.

Another salvaged house from the Bexley (Pacific Park) red zone is on the truck and may start it's journey to a new location overnight.

A house, one of the few still remaining in the Dallington Red Zone (Avonside Drive, Dallington). The area is "red zoned" due to land damage from earthquakes (mainly the February 22nd 2011 6.4 magnitude quake).
Still awaiting a repair, but with so many bridges closed or partially closed we are lucky this one had what maybe minor damage.
