The corner of Rossall and Rhodes Streets in 1925

1925

The corner of Rossall and Rhodes Streets looking south east. Taken by Charles John Beken, who built in 1909 and lived in the house at right with tiled roof & a two-storeyed workshop to the left that housed his photographic studio on the upper storey.

Winning entry in the Places category of the 2015 Christchurch City Libraries Photo Hunt.

Judges' Comments: "This early photo ... shows how suburban Christchurch has changed in 90 years. Loved the clear detail and aerial view complete with car."
"... The height and angle of the crossroads with the single car approaching the corner makes it a very interesting composition...."

Merivale property

1880s

Image in an album of a Merivale property owned by John Thomas Peacock. A variety of unidentified people are visible in the foreground.

Contributors note” “From an album I was given a few years ago named Merivale, Christchurch. An album of photos of the property. I believe it was made in about 1882 as the book binder was J. T. Smith and Co, Christchurch. There are 21 photos of the estate that was originally had 50 acres. Subdivided over the years the house remained at 31 Naseby Street in Merivale until it was demolished in 2019. John Thomas Peacock was the owner of the house at this time and there is a fountain in the photograph. This information was sourced from the album, google and CCC Library staff. (James and college).”
