This 1886 \u003cem\u003ePlan of the City of Christchurch\u003c\/em\u003e captures the Garden City less than forty years after the first Canterbury Association ships arrived - the original street grid and every numbered town section, Cathedral Square, Cranmer and Latimer Squares, and the Avon River winding through it all, framed by the North, South and East Town Belts and the boroughs of St Albans and Sydenham beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch of the city on this map has changed beyond recognition, and many of the buildings standing in 1886 were lost in the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes. Yet the streets the early surveyors laid out are still there. Find your street, your school or your family's old address, and trace nearly 140 years of Christchurch history.
