Find Peebles Station
Stand near the carpark to hear about how this once-blank wall was transformed into a slice of lost colonial Christchurch.
"Richard Peebles from Riverside Market explains how this mural links to his own history in Christchurch and what has been created in the new Riverside market.
The concept and design for the wall was created by Josh Thompson of Madeknown, with the wall being painted and produced by Oi YOU! and local artists DTR Crew (Dcypher, Wongi Wilson, Ikarus & Jacob Yikes).
The mural was funded through a public-private-partnership between Riverside Market, Oi YOU!, Madeknown and ChristchurchNZ."
