Shands Lane in the Central City, Christchurch

Shands Lane and it is too new to be on the library website. It is a right of way that runs behind the restaurants and bars on Oxford Terrace. It runs from Hereford St to Cashel St and it is probably named after Shand’s Emporium. Shand’s Emporium was on Hereford St close to where this new lane is. Shand’s Emporium was in an old wooden building and was moved to Manchester St. We lost so many historic buildings that it was great to have one saved.
