CRL Chief Post Office - Restored and Reborn

Take an in-depth look at the life of this 100-year-old, heritage category 1 listed building: past, present and future. In this video, we explore the building’s early use as the Chief Post Office then fast-forward through time to its current use as home of the Britomart Transport Centre and City Rail Link works. You’ll hear what it was like to work there as a telegraph technician in the building’s earlier years, and also find out about how the whole building was lifted mere millimetres to allow for the construction of twin CRL tunnels beneath it.
