    pellethepoet Interesting to compare the two photos, isn't it? This one is earlier - no tram poles etc. Flags and Sunday best clothes - Anniversary Day? (Australia Day).
  • beachcomber australia said:
    No Fire Station - it's earlier than I thought. More like c.1890 ...
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Certainly pre-1891 - the Manly Jetty seen in the other photo was built in 1891.
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    pellethepoet beachcomber australia Thank you for the image and pointing out those clues. We initially dated this as c 1890 based on the women's clothing, however, the State Records NSW photograph provides a better reference point. Thanks again!

    Great picture. If memory serves, I think the small bridge in the middle was able to swing to allow slightly taller boats and barges further up the river.
  • Fred Dean Snr. said:
    This is after 1882 when the widened and renamed ( Carlisle bridge) O'Connell Bridge was opened. The trams were fully electrified by 1901.
