English: The unveiling of the Bricks memorial, Barbadoes Street, Christchurch.
This was the highest point on the Avon River reached by whaleboats which crossed the Sumner bar and were pulled up the Avon in the 1840s and 1850s. It is particularly associated with bricks brought up the river by John Edward Thacker (1825-1896). The Mayor of Christchurch, John Kendrick Archer (1865-1949) is shown speaking at the ceremony. One of the surviving colonists from the Charlotte Jane stands alongside. The memorial cairn is near the Barbadoes Street bridge. |
