The bridge at the north end of Porritt Park, Avondale.
These have been thrown in the Avon River
Where once were buildings! From the corner of Armagh Street and Oxford Terrace.
The same view as the previous photo. Building demolished after the earthquake of 2011!
Eighty years and then the damage was done. Result of the earthquake on 22/02/11.
Two relatively new town houses in the Bexley "Red Zone". Awaiting demolition due to severe land problems. Have been vandalised.
Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrameny aka Christchurch Basilica
Wairoa Street Another web site used this image (with a link to this Flickr page), so the view count sky rocketed. CERA (Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority)/Tonkin & Taylor also used this image on page 13 of a Land Damage presentation on 23/06/11. This was also released as a PDF.

Is it to "ward" off evil spirits?.
Looking across to the Town Hall. Will it stay or will it go?
Verandah roof of former Central Library on left. Rubble is from the former Farmers building and carpark.
Nearing the end of demolition of the Westend Jewellers site on the corner of Worcester and Manchester Streets, Christchurch. Badly damaged in the September 4th earthquake.

Two of the large boulders (larger than a house or two) that came down from Castle Rock (see the fence in front of the boulders).
Nearly two weeks after the 7.1 earthquake, and a week after demolition started, this is the end of The Valley Inn in Heathcote.
The South New Brighton Domain jetty into the Avon-Heathcote Estuary. A new jetty replaced an older one about 6-8 years ago, then the earthquakes happened! Before the earthquakes it was straight and level and open!

Due to earthquake damage.
Prior to the earthquakes the stone wall at right was near road level. Now it is about 1.5m (4-5ft) lower.
Further damage to the bank following the two quakes on 23/12/11. The sewer line broke here and was repaired (patched) by council staff on Christmas Eve. It is hard to beleve that this rock wall was level with the land here, before any of the quakes.
A historic plate smashed in the February Christchurch earthquake. Ashley Gorge Scenic Reserve was established by my Great-Grandmother (maternal) many years ago.
