Edward Hunt built ‘Hampton Villa’ in the 1840s. Henry Parkes was Premier up to 1891, while a tenant in the house. He severely injured his leg in a riding fall in 1889 and could not travel, hence a number of NSW Government Cabinet meetings were held at Hampton Villa. A watercolour of Johnstons Bay Balmain, by George Halsted c1870 - Hampton Villa lies at the top of the rise: slnsw: acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemLarge.aspx?itemID=456536 and a photo 1870s: slnsw: acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemLarge.aspx?itemID=63515

Glebe Island Bridge collapse, August 1899

beachcomber australia said:
Not the "Hawkesbury River", but the collapse of the old Glebe Island Bridge in August 1899. The new bridge was being built alongside; some of the new embankment slipped over and smashed the old wooden structure. Read All About It ! - SMH, 07/08/1899 p.7 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/14253629 More illustrations - AT&CJ, 12/08/1899 p.23 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/71332068 I think we are looking from Pyrmont towards Balmain. GoogleMapsSatellite - maps.google.com.au/maps?ll=-33.868015,151.18579&spn=0... That is something I never knew about!

beachcomber australia Wow, thanks once again beachcomber. It looks like you're right, especially because of that drawing in the article from the 12 August. We will update our records with this information.

If anyone, anywhere, can get details on when the raised section of the old bridge was inserted, that'd be just great! ;)
