'Shrewsbury, Butcher's Row'

  • National Science and Media Museum said:
    Like this description from the Visit Shrewsbury website: "As you may have guessed from the name, this street was once where the towns butchers would ply their trade. Before the days of refrigeration, one can barely think about the pong that must wafted down the street during one of our hot Shropshire summers! "On holy days when aldermen went to meetings, there was a rush to find the best line to walk. Against the buildings was the safest bet where they would protected from any materials that may have been thrown from the upper floors into the streets. The worst place would have been the middle of the street where all the sludge would have accumulated."

    Built by the Sydney Harbour Trust in Argyle Street in 1905, and No 6 (Duggan's) remodelled to this design shortly thereafter (1906?) - and c1914 the lovely semi-circular bay window was bricked up!..
    See Dept Housing Conservation management review Pages 118 & 119 for a history of this building and earlier photo :

    Andy Brill Thanks, the report contains what looks to be exactly the same photo, dated 1906 - fantastic! I gathered that the design seen in this image was demolished & replaced in 1914 though?
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia Thanks - for the Google Street view, it doesn't look entirely different, a few new features & bricking up :)

    So excited by this photo. My great great great grandfather and grandmother lived at 8 Argyle place in the 1860. Which is now a shop called Rare Aviation Books - next door to Lord Nelson Hotel www.onthehouse.com.au/11609432/8_argyle_pl_millers_point_...
