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.
