The Knox Church on the corner of Bealey Avenue and Victoria Street was very badly damaged in our earthquakes and they started rebuilding it last year – it was stripped right back to its frames for a long time.
I was really surprised when driving back from my holiday to see the progress they’ve made – it’s looking like a church again. For more information about the church and the rebuild visit http://www.knoxchurch.co.nz

Ooooh, my friend and I had to spend a night in Chch before flying home to Kaitaia. We had been come up from south westland and wanted a night out. This was a couple of years ago. By co-incidence we found Smash Palace to have a beer – it was the end of May, freezing cold night, and here were glammed-up locals enjoying the night-life in a club with no walls or ceilings or heating, apart from fires in drums and hot water bottles.
Across the road stood the bones of Knox church. Thanks for the update.
