The record’s own pin; the strong outline is the suburb around it, the rest are its neighbours.

A name read off an inscription is a lead, not a verified identity, the search is where verification starts.

A plaque of Christchurch, standing at Murchison Park in Redwood, one record on the council’s plaque register for the public estate.
The words above, verbatim, the surveyor’s transcription, casing, spelling and typos as they were read off the other. The register does not say who the name belonged to; the dedication is the whole of the record.
The register marks it in service, commissioned 2015. 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.
