    There's a 5.S.59 on top of the photograph, could that be the date?

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/74004041@N06] Maybe... I was reading it as 5. S. 59 R
  • Bankstown Babyboomer said:
    It looks earlier than 1959; a couple of FJ Holdens and nothing later would indicate pre-1957. Or if they're FX Holdens (difficult to tell which grill at this angle even on the largest size), 1953 or earlier.
  • Mich said:
    I am surprised it is so far from Castlereagh Street to Pitt Street.
  • Mich said:
    No way it is 1959, the cars are all old. The newest car I can see, looks like the 1951 model Austin, second from the left. And two early Holdens. I doubt that this photo is more recent than 1951 or 1952.

Asquith, Herbert, c.1910.

    The location is unmistakably outside the main entrance to Bow Street Magistrates' Court. The lamps are a dead giveaway.

    Note the cabbie and horse drawn cab waiting in front of the building - of the type featured in the Sherlock Holmes television series made in England - depicting the 1880s or early 1890s
  • Descriptive Example said:
    I think all ofthese images should be geotagged with lat and lon to indicate thier location, even if they are demolished nowdays.
  • Ecks Bartlebooth said:
    Why was it demolished? I trust the building one finds in its place today is nowhere near as impressive.
  • Jason Painter said:
    It's a rich-looking building. Nice details.

    This building stood corner of george and Wynyard streets. Designed by Sulman & Power architects, this project gave Sulman the opportunity to demonstrate fire-retarding construction, using porous terra cotta casing elements. Built by McLeod Bros, It was the Head quarters of the Mutual Life Association of Australia & later the French Bank. The building consisted of basement & 6 upper levels.It was one of the earliest examples of a fire-resisting structure. The structure was of wrought iron beams & floor beams encased in terra cotta blocks. The staircase was also fireproof. The façade was clad in Pyrmont stone & the granite columns from Scotland.It had a 28m frontage to Wynyard St & 14m frontage to George Street .Topping out in June 22,1889, it was the citys tallest building for a few short months Although buildings such as Chief Sec Bldg & Mort & Co woolstore were approx same height of 102ft/31m, this building was built using the “skyscraper “ method. Iron frame with fast passenger lifts..The historic structure was demolished in 1969 to make way for the Bank of NZ. cheers
