Woolston: Industrial Strength and Character

A photographic voyage through Woolston – one of Christchurch's more 'colourful' suburbs with deep industrial and working class roots. This exhibition pays homage to Woolston's ordinary, and extraordinary places and people who have contributed to the flavour of this suburb; from the quirkiness of the city's oldest cemetery to the increasingly appreciated, understated style of late 1940s and 1950s buildings; take a glance at the retro cool of the 1960s and 1970s and move towards how we see ourselves in this suburb today.

Heritage Week aims to raise awareness of our special heritage places, and the importance and benefits of conserving them. 2008's theme is RETROspective: Christchurch life, architecture and design 1940s - 1970s. Get ready for some retro fun!
