View down Worcester Street to Cathedral Square
A view looking east down Worcester Street, towards the Square and ChristChurch Cathedral. Prominent buildings and business include the former Municipal Chambers building, the Christchurch Gas, Coal and Coke Company building, National Cash Register Company Ltd, the AMP building, Clarendon Hotel, Avon Theatre and dome of the Regent Theatre. A Maling & Co delivery truck is travelling North along Oxford Terrace.
Contributors note: "1960s street view, looking eastwards along Worcester St towards Cathedral Square, shows people walking in the Square and various vehicles including, buses in Cathedral Square, cyclists, cars parked and driving, a Maling & Co. Ltd truck crossing the Worcester St and Oxford Tce intersection, gives way to pedestrians on a crossing, outside the Gas Company show room. NCR is the business next to Gas Co. Given the location of Maling & Co on the corner of Gloucester and Oxford Tce, this truck probably on the way there. There are no traffic lights in sight. On the opposite corner of Worcester St and Oxford Tce is the Clarendon Hotel, on this side one can see the Avon theatre, and the dome on the top of the Regent Theatre building on the corner of Worcester St and Cathedral Square. In the foreground on Worcester St is the Municipal building, and a phone box on the street opposite."
