Hagley Park and the Botanic Gardens provide a richly colourful surrounding to these historic buildings".

A photograph of the photocopy template for the Christchurch City Council's yellow sticker. The sticker was used by the Civil Defence after the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes to indicate that a building had been inspected and that structural damage or other safety hazards had been found.

It also states that 'earthquake aftershocks present danger' and that people who enter must do so at their own risk.
