Exhibitions

Ferry Road has always been a very important part of Christchurch. Beginning as a major transportation route for goods to Christchurch that came into Lyttelton, to being the back bone of a major industrial area, it has seen many changes and developments since the 1850s. Ferry Road continues to be very busy to this day with multiple commercial sections at Ferrymead, Woolston Village and Phillipstown and connects the city to Sumner.

10 years on

This exhibition commemorates the impact of the earthquakes over the intervening years and launches on the 10 year anniversary of the 22 February earthquake. It will explore the immediate and ongoing impact of these earth shaking events through community images and stories that have been shared with the Christchurch City Library. These images and stories show the rapidly changing environment of Canterbury during times of damage, loss and recovery at personal, community and citywide levels.
