70+ year old oak table and 4 chairs in very good condition from an estate. Very sturdy and well looked after. Better quality than some of the pieces made today.


Solid oak except for veneer on the table top, which needs some attention. One chair has a small piece broken off the back that just needs glueing back in. The chairs have padded velvet seats. We can recommend an excellent cabinet maker who specialises in oak and know this table.


The table is 3' square and has two extension leaves which extend it to 5'2" long and can easily seat 6.


Price negotiable.

Price: $425

The well-known former Hornby Clocktower site is for sale.

On the corner of Main South Rd and Brynley St, the property is the site of the former Hornby Clocktower building that marked the southern entrance to Christchurch for more than 50 years.

It was built by accomplished Christchurch architect Don Donnithorne in the 1960s, who was part of a new school of architects who dominated Christchurch's post-war cityscape with clean, modernist designs, and was home to the Central Canterbury Electric Power Board.

Family-owned investment company Epoch bought the property in 2005. They completed a full refurbishment in 2010, just three months before the February 2011 earthquake. The building was demolished in 2014.

Epoch has redeveloped the site into a mixed-use complex, naming it the Clocktower Centre in a nod to the past.

It comprises four main buildings with a total of 11 tenancies including fast food chain Carl’s Jr, Snap Fitness, Australian retailer Godfreys, Oil Changers and a host of other businesses.

Throwback Thursday

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Wonderland - the 1906 equivalent of a theme park - was set up in Christchurch's Hagley Park during the New Zealand International Exhibition.

It included a "most riotous" water chute, which sent people hurtling into Victoria Lake on a small boat.
