Coaching on Cliff Road

from Powerhouse Museum

  • faded treatment said:
    Bit difficult to say absolutely but I reckon this is where the Seacliff Bridge is situated now, between Clifton and Coalcliff. That headland in the background with the pier next to it looks suspiciously similar to those in a previous image of Coledale, which isn't far south of here. I think that 'Cliff Rd' is now Lawrence Hargrave Drive.
