A photograph captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "The clock tower of Science Alive, formerly the Christchurch Railway Station, on Moorhouse Road. The clock has stopped at 4.36 am on 4 September 2010 and has been left that way".

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".

Heavy steel bracing holding up the clock tower on the Worcester Street side of the Arts Centre. Wire fencing has been placed along the road in order to cordon off the building.

Damage to the Victoria Street clock tower which stopped at the time of the 22 February earthquake. Sections of the base have been covered by black plastic sheeting and shipping containers protecting the road from the danger of it falling.
The Arts Centre photographed shortly after the 22 February 2011 earthquake. A large crack can be seen in the tower and part of the brickwork around the clock has collapsed onto the pavement below. Scaffolding was placed up against the building after the 4 September 2010 earthquake and the gable was braced with wooden planks. This probably limited the damage to this part of the building. The building has been cordoned off with tape reading, 'Danger keep out'. A sign in front of the door reads, 'Site closed'.
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.

On the right the timber section of the historic Provincial Council Chambers can be seen, including the clock tower which has collapsed onto the road. Armagh Street leading into the city has been cordoned off by red tape.
