Antigua Boatsheds Christchurch
The Antigua Boat Sheds have a part in Christchurch’s early history that goes back over 130 years.
In 1882, two boat builders of Lyttleton, Messrs Albert Shaw and J.T. Tidd, erected large boat sheds on the Avon River by the Antigua Street Bridge. An illustrated guide to Christchurch, published in 1885, highlights the facilities for boating that were offered there.
