Historic wall dismantled: Albert St, Auckland
Contractors start the painstaking task this week of taking down the city's oldest wall- brick by brick.
The historic Bluestone wall off Albert St will be moved 1.5 metres to make way for the underground rail tunnels being built in Auckland's major infrastructure project, the City Rail Link.
Every brick will be labelled with a unique number so workers know how to rebuild the wall.
Expected to be reconstructed by 2023, it will be moved east with the station tunnel box running parallel.
The wall was constructed in 1880 from local material after the widening of Durham St.
