I hadn't gone further away I'd got nearer, no wonder it took forever to get the answer, the clues where rubbish.

No 1 is New Jerusalem in Abbey St.
No 2 is Christ Church.
No 3 is the school built in 1844/5

There were several places of worship in Acc mid 1800's, but the only ones with any decent sized congregations were Christ Church, New Jerusalem, St James and Machpelah on Hyndburn Rd, they moved to Blackburn Rd and then to Cannon St.
There was a small one on Chapel St, at the corner with Quarry St, but they were Calvanists.

Thank you, so Christ Church once had a spire, that's what threw me.

I thought
No1 St James
No2 Oak St or New Jerusalem
No3 Christ Church

I have fond memories of rock and roll discos in Christchurch sunday school premises circa 1955
PS I often wonder what became of Alan Kelly of Russia St (a tech lad)

It was more of an illogical infatuation

and I never had a single 'date' with him. He was a tall quiet type - maybe he just had nothing worth saying

On the left of that painting behind the factory chimneys and in front of the railway viaduct, there is what appears to be a large mound of earth. Any idea what it is?

Looks like he forgot to paint the arch of the viaduct.

That would be some big arch

A street plan of the same year does'nt show any thing that could be a mound of earth, in the line of that view of the picture. Still think he missed a bit when he was painting, and not some big arch, but one and two piers.
