Under the Eaves
A installation on the city’s public ground: standing in Addington.
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.

Dumped RubbishQuestions, answered briefly
A installation in the open map’s record of Christchurch, standing in Addington. The map credits David Lloyd.
In Addington, the pin is the map’s own position. The register keeps no listed 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.
