The Christchurch Then and Now Series was first published in 2013 and proved to be a popular publication for locals and visitors about the city’s earthquake and rebuild story.
In the series, Deb Donnell shares photographs from key locations prior to or just after the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes. She pairs them with updated images taken from the same locations.
Christchurch Then and Now Volume 4 gives you the chance to see how the landscape looks in 2024, and compare it to scenes from 2011 and earlier. It covers the central city, residential red zone, New Brighton, Sumner, Lyttelton, Akaroa and Kaiapoi. It also looks at the role Christchurch has played since 1901 as the Gateway to Antarctica.
This latest volume includes new features:
● Historical and other interesting information about key locations.
● City map with reference icons.
Christchurch Then and Now Volume 4 is a must add to your New Zealand book collection, a great gift to send friends and family overseas, and the preferred visual guidebook for visitors and tourists.
Christchurch Then and Now Volume 4 – 2024
The update photographs of this book were taken over the first eight months of 2024, with the bulk being in the autumn months. Not all photos or locations made it into the book. Some sites are continuously in the news due to lack of funding and other issues. As part of Deb’s commitment to document the rebuild, additional information and photos will be made available on her website.
