General Post Office, Sydney 1898

from Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection

beachcomber australia said:
@ State Records - surely not "from George Street"? Wonderfully spooky to be able to date this to the nearest minute - 11:40 am on 4 April 1898. I bothered to look it up and it was a Monday - almost time for lunch!
Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:
You are quite right, beachcomberaustralia, it's not George Street at all! I have updated the text to "showing Martin Place." Thanks for pointing that out. Almost time for lunch and just before the lunch rush! There's a post on our Archives Outside blog called Using shadows to date photographs which you might find interesting.
beachcomber australia said:
Thanks State Records, that post is really interesting, but I am surprised someone else has not already done it.

Unveiling of the Cenotaph in Martin Place, 1929

from Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection

beachcomber australia said:
Several articles and letters in the Sydney Morning Herald give the date of the unveiling as Thursday 21 February 1929, not Friday 22nd. Read all about it - SMH 22/2/1929 p12 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16533398 More images - SMH 22/2/1929 p16 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16533131

beachcomber australia Well spotted! Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection More chocolates for beachcomberaustralia ...
Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:
pellethepoet beachcomber australia Thankyou, I see we are slowly running out of chocolates! The NSW Parliament site also states the ceremony was on the 21 February 1929 - I've updated the caption above. However, the date on the photo in the bottom left corner is 22/2/1929. AB

Just to th eright of the lady crossing the street is an unusually wide horse drawn cart. Any idea if it was a special piece of equipment?
