Queen Street, Brisbane with the Gordon and Gotch building in the distance

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Along with Watson & Ferguson, and Angus & Robertson, Gordon and Gotch was a publisher for Brisbane where scholarly works would be available to the community. The history of the city has been a struggle to import and print high-quality works of broad and deep learning. However, in recent decades Queensland historians have uncovered a much more significant reading history than what traditionally was presumed. Gordon and Gotch opened its Brisbane branch in 1875. The Company had begun in a partnership of Alexander Gordon and John Gotch and was incorporated in 1895 and listed in 1897. Its standing as a credible publisher was aided by having a branch in London. The six-storey building of Gordon & Gotch was erected in Adelaide Street in 1926-1927. Gordon & Gotch left the building in 1957. Source: mappingbrisbanehistory.com.au/history-location/gordon-got...

    Looks like they're at the Central Station parcels office...in the background we're looking West across George St down Quay St. Some of the buildings seen here are still standing...

    trove.nla.gov.au/work/190120541 - this [1927] NLA Fairfax pic of George St, etc which looks to have been taken from the Central Station clock tower gives a good view of the general location...

    trove.nla.gov.au/work/187501373 - ditto this other NLA Fairfax pic of Railway Square...

    The date has to be ca. 1927 or later...you can just make out the Empire Theatre in Quay St...it was completed in 1927...it had a very distinctive hoarding/billboard/sign on top which just makes it into frame in the background behind the delivery guys' heads...

    trove.nla.gov.au/work/10441750 - SLNSW Sam Hood pic of the Empire Theatre...

    trove.nla.gov.au/work/13466707 - another SLNSW Sam Hood pic of the Empire Theatre...

    trove.nla.gov.au/work/10430566 - more wonders of Trove!...the NLA has another pic of these Hordern's delivery guys...looks to be the same occasion...

    trove.nla.gov.au/work/11361441 - this other pic of the Hordern's delivery wagons looks to be much earlier...
