Looking into Cathedral Square from the corner of Cambridge Terrace and Worcester Boulevard. On the left is the damaged former Municipal Chambers, a historic Queen Anne building on the intersection of Worcester Boulevard and Oxford Terrace. On the right is the Clarendon Tower.
The front side of the Cathedral the rose window removed and bracing supporting the wall. The broken tower can be seen to the left and fencing placed around the outside of the building. In the background, the Millennium Hotel can be seen.
The Arts Centre photographed shortly after the 22 February 2011 earthquake. A large crack can be seen in the tower and part of the brickwork around the clock has collapsed onto the pavement below. Scaffolding was placed up against the building after the 4 September 2010 earthquake and the gable was braced with wooden planks. This probably limited the damage to this part of the building. The building has been cordoned off with tape reading, 'Danger keep out'. A sign in front of the door reads, 'Site closed'.
A photograph of detail of the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament. The tower on the south-west corner has partly crumbled, leaving the inside space exposed. A door can be seen propped up against the interior wall.

A snapshot from GPS Boomerang's SmartBird flight over the Christchurch red zone on 23 December 2012, looking over Cathedral Square with the Christchurch Cathedral, the Post Office Building and the Chalice visible.

A CERA information sign on the fence in the Cathedral Square, placed to provide information to the public about the buildings seen from Cathedral Square. This one says "Clarendon Tower: This will be demolished. Currently CERA is working towards the appointment of an accredited demolistion contractor".

A photograph of the Arts Centre taken from Rolleston Avenue near the Botanic Gardens. The building has been cordoned off by wire fencing and a wooden structure has been secured to the tower with tie-downs to help reduce damage from further aftershocks.

St John's Presbyterian Church on Winchester Street in Lyttelton. The ground around the church is strewn with masonry that has fallen from the church's walls and collapsed tower. The building's front door has been red-stickered and a sign that reads "No entry" is stuck to it.
The Harbourlight Theatre on London Street in Lyttelton. There is cracking along the side of the building and damage to the domes on top of the towers. Bracing has been placed at the top to limit further damage and to stop debris from falling on the road.
The north side of the Christ Church Cathedral with the partially demolished tower visible, a pile of rubble in front. Bracing has been placed up against the front of the building to hold the wall together. The Citizens' Memorial can be seen to the left.

Members of the public take photographs of the damaged Christ Church Cathedral. A walkway from Gloucester Street to the Square was opened up for a few days to allow the public a closer look at the cathedral. The tower and the front wall of the building have partially collapsed. Steel bracing has been added to the front wall for support.
