The Bricks, Barbadoes Street, Christchurch
[1935]

This memorial marks the spot where the Avon River shoaled too much to accommodate the whaleboats that brought bricks for William and John Deans to build chimneys for their house at Riccarton. The cargo was landed on the south bank of the Avon and taken by carts to the homestead. At one stage there was a small wharf for unloading goods.
