A plaque of Christchurch, standing at Cenotaph War Memorial in Akaroa, one record on the council’s plaque register for the public estate.
The surveyor filed a note, not the words themselves, “Inscription faint, mostly unreadable”. The plaque still earns its page: it stands, the ground is named, and the record’s pin is real.
5 plaques on the register share this ground, the others are linked above.
The register marks it in service, commissioned 2008. 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.
