Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection Are these the gasworks on the Barangaroo site?
beachcomber australia said:
John Cowper Yes, I think so - still causing pollution problems 140+ years later.
beachcomber australia said:
The six-house terrace called 'Harbour View Terrace' built 1870 is NOT here, implying the photo is before 1870.

This is almost certainly the photograph by John Degotardi senior exhibited at the 1866 Intercolonial Exhibition in Melbourne, and described on the State Library of Victoria catalogue as follows - "Includes the Gasworks chimney bearing a plaque reading 'GASWORKS 1840' and a gasometer made of iron in the foreground. Balmain can be seen across the water."

Gas Light Company's Head Station on the Eastern Shore of Darling Harbour / the back ground shewing portions of the Town of Balmain. / Sydney. N.S.Wales. 1866.

Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Has anyone identified the site?
beachcomber australia said:
John Cowper That is our job!
beachcomber australia said:
My guess would be at Balmain East Ferry wharf looking south. This working waterfront is now public parkland (Illoura Reserve)- GoogleMapsSatellite - maps.google.com.au/maps?q=Balmain+NSW&hl=en&ll=-3... That terrace of houses (see note) looked familiar to me. Could be wrong!

John Cowper Ha! Beachcomber got you there! beachcomber australia When it comes to Balmain terraces you are never wrong [ ie. www.flickr.com/photos/state-records-nsw/4312109973/ ]

I bet this is a John Degotardi Jnr photo. From the strong perspective composition. Also he lived a couple of blocks away.

Still there! GoogleMapsStreetView - maps.google.com.au/maps?q=Nicholson+Street,+Balmain+East,...

I knew a guy called John Degotardi once. He was probably John Degotardi IV
