From the air
An Installation
A installation on the city’s public ground: standing in Ilam.
Where it stands
The pin is OpenStreetMap’s own position, the strong outline is the suburb the map puts it in, the rest are its neighbours.
On the register nearby
Listed places within about 300m: neighbours of the monument, not the monument itself unless the register says so.

A installation in the open map’s record of Christchurch, standing in Ilam. The map credits Rosemary Johnson. Dated 1980.
In Ilam, the pin is the map’s own position. The register keeps 1 place within 300m of it.
It’s OpenStreetMap’s position, a surveyed-looking point, but a volunteer map’s one. Nearby ground and register places are neighbours, not the same record.
The record behind this
The position and the tags are OpenStreetMap’s, a named node or way tagged memorial or artwork inside the city boundary (ODbL). The maker, material and date fields are the mapper’s own, kept verbatim; a listing is a lead, not a catalogue record.
