Fletcher, Frances Ann 1846-1935 :[Armagh Street Bridge, Christchurch, 1890s?]

Shows Armagh Street bridge over Avon River from Cambridge Terrace, with two cabbage trees in foreground and other exotic trees. Cathedral spire on left, rooftops of central city buildings, including United Service Hotel building and Post Office tower centre right, and Port Hills with Castle Rock beyond.

Photographs of Armagh Street Bridge show wrought ironwork rather than solid stone in the top section. United Service Hotel building was under construction in 1885 and was completed about 1886. Post Office Tower did not have its clock in 1879, but this was in place in mid-1880s.
