The street on the left is named Ferry Street on this 1858 Map of Sydney - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview?pi=nla.map-rm1272-sd&rgn=0...

See current view here (pellethepoet) - www.flickr.com/photos/pellethepoet/4330217516/ Also fascinating detail about other views of Ferry Lane / Street / Place including this 1897 painting by Sir William Johnson - nla.gov.au/nla.pic-an2284261, and this same photograph with street names from the State Record NSW - investigator.records.nsw.gov.au/asp/photosearch/photo.asp... .

I have always doubted the "1897" date of the William Johnson painting nla.gov.au/nla.pic-an2284261 . Closer inspection reveals the side of the 1900 Stevens Building www.flickr.com/photos/29029178@N03/2865095772/ in Windmill Street between the 'Hero of Waterloo' and the 'Hit & Miss' Hotels - the west wall and a couple of chimneys. Obviously they cannot have been there in 1897, and implies that the photo came BEFORE the artwork, as in several other instances.

Whoopee - the National Library has changed the date of the Johnson painting to "Ca.1902". Which is a bit odd, as I think the artist signed it " '01 ". Anyway, the photo was first.

pellethepoet It's great to see Ferry Lane in the process of change here.

beachcomber australia Yes, and it also shows the buildings in Downshire Street clearly -

A lot of those buildings nearest the coast are still standing. The Stevens building trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/111312253 is obvious at the top of old Pottinger St. The last resident was moved out yesterday morning as part of the new rocks resumption. All change. Again.

noctorum That's no good about the last resident. The Stevens building helped get a painting re-dated - see ...
Unfortunately we have lost the notes in Flickr's latest incarnation. -

beachcomber australia Though hidden, the notes are still there, so not lost entirely. Fingers-crossed Flickr will re-activate them at some point. [I use an old version of Firefox (16.0.1) which gives me access to the notes.]
