ABOUT
A collection of the regions past, assembled by Ken Coates and Halina Ogonowska Coates from photographs, sketches, and archival images that trace Canterbury’s development from its early colonial decades through to the mid 20th century.
The authors organise the material thematically and geographically, allowing the reader to move through Christchurch streetscapes, rural townships, transport routes, and everyday working life as they once appeared. Alongside the images, concise captions provide historical context—highlighting vanished buildings, early industries, social customs, and the gradual transformation of both city and countryside.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images and illustrations.
