Ferry Road gives place to many antique and op-shops throughout its length. Starting from Ferrymead with the SaveMart clothing shop you can find several in Woolston with SPCA and the big Salvation Army shops, there is also Ferry Road Antique Centre, further towards Aldwins Road there is Glamour Direct, Treasure Crove Alterations selling second hand clothing as well, the Pawnshop, Allsorts with two buildings, then on the other side of Aldwins Road there is three Antique shops next door to each other and the Red Cross shop. Even further on after the intersection with Moorhouse Avenue there is another Antique shop and a second hand goods barn, finally another Pawn shop even closer to the city. No wonder Marily and Anne stopped on Ferry Road to do some op-shopping. “This is not a hobby for us, it’s a carreer!” – they explain their addiction to affordable and creative clothing. The ladies are from Ashburton and spent the weekend in Christchurch.
