Questions, answered briefly

What is this?

A plaque of Christchurch, standing at Blighs Garden in New Brighton, one record on the council’s plaque register for the public estate.

What does it say?

The surveyor filed the inscription as "unknown", the weathering won, or nobody transcribed it. The plaque still earns its page: it stands, the ground is named, and the record’s pin is real.

Is the plaque still standing?

The register marks it in service. The books' word, though, a plaque may have weathered since the survey, and the pin is the record’s position.

The record behind this

Christchurch City Council’s open data, the Furniture service’s Plaque layer. The inscription is the surveyor’s transcription; "In Service" is the books, not a promise the plaque still reads clean today. The pin is the record’s position on the layer.
