The Timeball Station is open for the public to visit during daylight hours.
The Timeball Station in Lyttelton, New Zealand, was one of only five in the world known to be still in working order. This rare piece of maritime history, cared for by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust (NZHPT) had been fabulously restored.
Already damaged by an earthquake centred under Darfield in Canterbury on Saturday 4 September 2010, a large earthquake on Tuesday 22 February caused significant damage to this historic building. On 4 March 2010 the NZHPT announced that the building would be dismantled.
While work was underway to dismantle the building, earthquakes on Monday 13 June 2011 caused the collapse of the Timeball Station's tower.
