# What stood on this ground? The heritage register’s answer within 250m of -43.62086, 172.78564, 1 place on record, nearest first. A register listing is a lead to follow, not by itself a claim.

An epicentre is where the instruments placed the break, not where the shaking was felt; the whole catalogue is at [sequence](https://www.chch.live/sequence) and the story in plain language is [the earthquakes explainer](https://www.chch.live/how-nz-works/canterbury-earthquakes).
