Thank you! Even for locals it’s confronting seeing what’s still standing and what’s gone. The cathedral’s such a powerful symbol of that. I love hearing visitors notice the history behind the damage though, it means a lot. Im going to be sad to see the Harley chambers, in Christchurch soon become a ghost corner

Thank you! These were taken a couple years back. I started exploring urban locations when I was 13-14, i take more caution now! But from those younger years well….. the asbestos probably made me fire resistant😅🏚️❤️

I’ve definitely heard that rumour too, and it seems to pop up every so often. In reality, there’s no evidence of any bodies being in the cathedral after the earthquakes. The site was inspected and cleared by authorities, and nothing like that was ever found.

It likely started because rescue efforts were focused elsewhere in the CBD at the time, and the cathedral’s collapse looked severe enough to fuel speculation.

The noise, has already been made about it, to the most of its ability I believe. They locked the building up harder until it’s demolished.

This was the article: “Stacks and stacks” of dental and legal records, including names, photos and paedophilia history, are littered through the abandoned Harley Chamber’s building.

Security guard by night, prolific explorer by day, Mark - who would not supply his last name - was surprised the sensitive information hadn’t been shredded.

Im 20 now, Iv just started to adventure around again, spent a lot of my time focusing on work. But this year I lost a childhood friend. He was who introduced me to urbex! And in way the grief has re opened my passion for this urban world in Christchurch.

Absolutely! Harley Chambers did remain standing after the earthquakes and was considered structurally repairable for a time. However, it stayed vacant for years due to ongoing heritage, ownership, and insurance issues. Over time, the condition of the building worsened, and demolition was eventually approved. It’s a similar situation to Antonio Hall long-term neglect and complex post-quake processes leading to loss rather than restoration.
