Walking south along Colombo Street alongside Victoria Square, I came to the intersection with Armagh Street. Looking across the road I saw this view. It’s a common scene across central Christchurch. With some many of the buildings damaged in the 2011 earthquake it feels like the majority of the architecture is new. Then you come across pockets of old surrounded by new. In this case the neo-Georgian brick structure of the Victoria Pub. Until I looked at a map I didn’t quite believe it but the building on both sides of this old pub is the new Te Pae Convention Centre.
