There's quite a bit of that going on here after the earthquakes. Prior to that the Clarendon Hotel was demolished and a tower block was built behind the old facade. It looked absolutely terrible. It was all damaged beyond repair by the quakes and is currently an empty site being used as a car park. https://canterburystories.nz/exhibitions/places-christchurch-buildings/clarendon-hotel Cheers, Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
