The text says 'Printer, lithographer, bookbinder, manufacturer of paper bags, tea packets and cardboard boxes. NZ Agent for making Stevenson's patent leatherboard boxes. Paper merchants, wholesale stationer, account books, Crown printing office'".
A protest sign painted on a fence shows an image of the cathedral spire and the words "Save + restore, stone by precious stone!" The photographer comments, "The Christchurch Cathedral got very badly damaged in the earthquake. It was being demolished down to a safe level before a major protest managed to stop it going too far. There is still an ongoing debate on what to do with the Cathedral. In the meantime a cardboard cathedral made out of a steel framework and massive toilet roll tubes is being constructed close by. This is to the right of the protest about the closure of Christchurch schools".
