This building has been going up for a few months – it’s on Kilmore Street and can also be seen from Colombo and Peterborough Street. It has some fairly impressive steel beams.

Square Re-Opens with Narrow Corridor

May 14, 2013

Today, a narrow corridor opened up in the Square, linking Gloucester and Worcester streets. I only found out about it later in the day so by the time I made it in there, the weather had changed from blue sky and sunny (like a lot of the other photos out there) to overcast and dull. I’ve been into the square before when they briefly opened it up, and have been walking around the periphery of it for so long that actually walking through it today had little affect on me. I have to say, I’m rather glad they’ve opened this up – it makes getting from New Regent Street to the Re-Start Mall a lot easier.

I popped into town to get a photo of the street with the building coming down – as to me it’s quite symbolic of where are are at the moment in Christchurch. Things are still changing, but some things have kind of stayed the same – we still have the beautiful New Regent Street.

The street has a number of Children’s artwork on the cordon fences, a nice touch.

The stained windows are now being added to the Transitional or ‘Cardboard’ Cathedral in Latimer Square. Apparently the Cathedral will be complete in late June.
