Christchurch has lost a lot of its heritage as a result of recent earthquakes but time, fire, developers have also contributed to the changes in the city’s social and physical fabric.
Find out more about Christchurch past, its buildings and its people on the Lost Christchurch website and add your own stories or comment on those already there. There is also a link to a site raising money to protect the city’s remaining heritage.
No St Albans stories there yet but plenty about buildings in the CBD and about previous earthquakes and building owners choosing between buildings using timber (risking fires) and bricks (at risk during earthquakes).
