Story

Die Bridge of Remembrance ist ein Kriegerdenkmal in Christchurch, Neuseeland. Es ist den neuseeländischen Kriegstoten des Ersten Weltkrieges gewidmet, gedenkt aber auch der anderen Teilnehmer an beiden Weltkriegen sowie der späteren Konflikte auf Borneo, in Korea, in Malaya und Vietnam. Das Bauwerk ist im Besitz des Christchurch City Council und wurde über dem östlichen Ende der Cashel Street Bridge errichtet, wo diese in die City Mall ausläuft.LageDer Torbogen wurde am östlichen Ende der Cashel Street Bridge erbaut, mit der Oxford Terrace und Cambridge Terrace verbunden werden, die durch den Avon River getrennt werden. Seit dem Anzac Day (25. April) 1977 ist die Brücke eine Fußgängerzone., seit dem Erdbeben von 2011 ist sie gesperrt. Östlich davon befand sich bis zum Erdbeben das geschäftliche Zentrum mit der eigentlichen Fußgängerzone (derzeit, 2012, überwiegend ebenfalls gesperrt). In dem Gebiet zwischen der Brücke und dem Victoria Square liegen Floral Clock, Law Courts, Canterbury Provincial Council Buildings, Our City und die Scott Statue.GeschichteDie Idee zum Bau der Bridge of Remembrance wurde erstmals am 24. Juli 1919 in einem von der Frau von Wyn Irwin geschriebenen Brief an The Press aufgebracht. Ihr Vorschlag fand die Unterstützung durch die Öffentlichkeit. Der Bau begann am 23. Januar 1923. Der Schlussstein wurde von Lord Jellicoe, Generalgouverneur und Flottenadmiral, am ANZAC Day 1923 gesetzt. Erzbischof Churchill Julius segnete das Bauwerk.

Love the view from the bridge.. Amazing place to take a good shot for you photo collections.. :- Definitely Worth to visit!! For sure..
Wide pedestrian memorial bridge that is a distinguished photo spot, especially for wedding photos apparently. Probably the most beautiful area along the river.
Really beautiful bridge remembering people who fought for our freedom. Worth a visit
Very nice bridge with great views
Absolutely beautiful landmark. We had a nice day to have a quick walk around here. Lots of stalls available that offer fast food and desserts. In general I enjoyed feeeding the eels. Must visit while.visiting Christchurch.
A fantastic memorial to loss of New Zealanders during the war. Very somber and majestic.
Least we forget, even in the middle of winter, nice to sit and be thankful
Great venue for shows. Love the big foyer with bar.
