    Some of those faces - the eyes in particular - look like they have experienced things no one would like to see.

    The photographer on this had to be incredible. This picture is downright flawless, and with the equipment they had back then. Wow. I'm freakin' amazed.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called THIRD PLANET/ Peoples, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    I believe that the Light Horse Interchange on the M7/M4 (Sydney Australia) was named after the Light Horsemen, and that they also fashion Emu feathers on their hats to distinguish them from other units. If anyone has information relating to this could they please provide a link.

    beachcomber australia Re your note. 1900 resumption map confirms it is the Grand Hotel. View "Plan T" on Archives Investigator - gallery.records.nsw.gov.au/index.php/galleries/maps-and-p... Also, there is a photo on Photo Investigator (not yet on Flickr) taken from Essex Street and looking south-west that shows part of the Grand Hotel (note the name in the window) - investigator.records.nsw.gov.au/asp/photosearch/photo.asp... In the 1880s it was the site of the Coach & Horses Hotel - acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/_zoomify/2008/D00663/a1367458.html Regarding the intersection of this photo (Cumberland & Little Essex), going clockwise: The south-west corner - The (soon to be vacant) north-west corner - The north-east corner - I've never found a photo of the south-east corner, but the Old Erin-go-bragh Hotel once stood there. See 1890 map - acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/_zoomify/2008/D00663/a1367458.html

    pellethepoet Thank you! I was thinking wrongly that the 'Frog Hollow' photo was taken from on top of the Grand Hotel, but that was Gloucester, not Cumberland St. All so very muddling ...
  • pellethepoet said:
    beachcomber australia I'm just glad you didn't confuse 'Frog Hollow' with the one in Surry Hills. That would have been embarrassing :)

    The 'North City Fire Brigade' seems to have been a volunteer organization from the 1880s, not part of the Metropolitan Fire Service. It suffered registration problems in 1896 (bureaucratic jealousies and bungling?) - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/14059846 . Still going in 1903 - the fellow at the window could be one of these people - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/14502563

    For those of us trying to navigate old sydney, I've put together a composite of the resumption map and something a little more recent. Enjoy!

Bridlington Fire Station 1905 (archive ref DDX2031-3-1)

    This photo is of Portland Place. The terrace house to the right is number 12 and bears the name The Fire House. A row of new build bungalows occupies the site of the fire station now. The new fire station is not, as stated, opposite the "high school" but opposite Bridlington School. The High School is the name given by locals to The High School for Girls which was on St John Street, now converted to flats
