A plaque of Christchurch, standing at Botanic Gardens in Christchurch Central, one record on the council’s plaque register for the public estate.
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.
172 plaques on the register share this ground, the others are linked above.
The register marks it in service, commissioned 2006. 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.
