Researcher comments/remarks
The closure of the Oxford Street premises of the Lyttelton Information Centre meant that the posters advertising local events were left in place for over a year; creating a snapshot of community life just prior to the February 2011 earthquakes. Many of the events advertised were cancelled as a result of the earthquakes. The Lyttelton Information Centre reopened in a portable building on London Street in June 2011, returning to their Oxford Street building in April 2013.
