Ian Sanderson beachcomber australia Mangrove Rat Thanks folks, it would be hard to recognise as Barangaroo without the solid landmark of the Sydney Observatory in the background. Although I think a row of those little houses still remains, in some degree of reconstruction.

Yikes! That's an interesting one. Guessing it is looking ~~west~~ east up Bettington Street towards the Observatory. Or not ??

The shadow of the chimneys and dormer windows of these houses were noted before by pellethepoet on this "c.1910" photo of the Kindergarten across the street. Which means the houses survived for quite a while after 1901.

And . . . [drum roll] . . . I had no idea the buildings are still there. I would have driven past hundreds of times. Google street view - maps.google.com.au/maps?ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Sydney+...

beachcomber australia Good spot! The buildings look very squashed amongst the newer buildings and skyscrapers in the Google Street View. AB

I am amazed that the buildings have survived; in this old photo they look like the original dark satanic mill (William Blake), full of lead and gas poison, and ripe for demolition. Does anyone know what happens there now? It is about to be Barangarooed !
