Object Detail
About the Work
“The
Volcano
Cafe
and
Lava
Bar
were
two
iconic
institutions
in
the
port
town
of
Lyttelton,
on
the
other
side
of
the
Port
Hills
from
Christchurch.
I
remember
enjoying
some
nachos
at
the
cafe
on
occasion.
Standing
on
the
corner
of
the
town’s
main
street,
their
blue
and
yellow
facades
were
some
of
the
best
known
landmarks
in
the
town.
Unfortunately
they
had
to
be
torn
down
after
the
earthquakes.
Bill
Hammond
was
a
frequent
patron
at
the
Lava
Bar
and
contributed
artwork
to
the
interior
decor.”
