Wouldn’t go back to that branch, papanui were much better, Kodie Plaskett, 3 months ago ## Doors - [What stood on this ground](https://www.chch.live/before?lat=-43.5346291&lon=172.6727158) - [On the map](https://www.chch.live/map#-43.5346291,172.6727158,17) - [Documents that name it](https://www.chch.live/documents?q=Work%20and%20Income%2C%20Linwood%20Branch) - [Phillipstown](https://www.chch.live/phillipstown), the suburb - [The OSM record](https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/104417070), fix it there ## Questions, answered briefly **What is Work and Income, Linwood Branch?** A government office in Phillipstown, Christchurch. **Where is Work and Income, Linwood Branch?** 154 Aldwins Road, Phillipstown, on [Aldwins Road](https://www.chch.live/street/phillipstown/aldwins-road).
