Established by the Austin brothers in 1863 the brickworks were named after the town of Farnley in Yorkshire England, from where the family had come. I remember the brickworks as a child and I think they were demolished in the 1970's. V...

Crack beside the door passes through entire house
The Mack tractor unit with "half a house" ready to depart in the middle of the night, when the roads are quiet. But where is this house heading too?
My house (bought in March 2004) till the government procured it in October 2012, is finally being demolished. It will be an empty section in a couple of days, once they rip up the concrete base. Note the rainbow on right.

Cunningham House at the Christchurch Botanic Gardens is still closed due to earthquake damage. I wonder if it will ever re-open or suffer the demolition fate many other iconic structures in Christchurch have.
20130808_2300_1D3-40 Warning (Day 220/365) Across the river were a row of several houses - all gone now. That side of the river is "Red Zone" and will be devoid of houses soon. #4077
Footpath at the end of Seabreeze Close. Houses in this area have been evacuated.
Trees cut down so a house being removed from behind could get out above the fence on one of those elevating house removal trailers. I don't know the story about the yellow (recycling) wheelie bin - the wheels have been removed.

RWTU3388135 (ex Triton TTNU3388135) about to be placed on the ground outside my "Red Zone" house. This is the second container, the first is away in storage with 95% of the house hold stuff. This one is for the hobby (no, not photography gear) and garage stuff.
In what used to be sections with houses and yards. Between late 2011 and 2014 the houses (well 95% of them) were removed due to land dropping in the 2011 earthquakes and the proximity of the Avon River, tidal in this area.
Part of a house that fell can be seen on the rocks above right hand containers.
