Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Heritage Key, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

At the rear of the Conservatorium of Music you can see the initial excavations for the Circuar Quay-St James section of the City Railway, which were paused for about a decade due to lack of funds, etc. The excavations filled with water and were evidently regarded as something of a health hazard. trove.nla.gov.au/work/189887826 - 1925 NLA Fairfax pic of kids diving into the pools of water in the City Railway excavations. trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/16495782 - SMH, 20th September, 1928...background on excavations behind the Conservatorium... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/16496044 - SMH, 21st September, 1928...pic taken when work on the excavations behind the Conservatorium resumed...

Titan II

from North East Museums

The Titan was a floating crane. Shipped out to India with some of the yard swan neck cranes and the floating dock in May 2009. There is a very sad video showing the heavy lift ship Osprey leaving the Tyne with the Titan on board at www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GJsiDLIG9g.
