Streetview shows 'The Abbey' spire, which puzzled me why it is not in this photo. Evidently The Abbey was moved from its original Broadway site in 1920 - sydneyarchitecture.com/GLE/GLE29.htm

I think the date must be 1903 like the St James King Street interior (the incomplete organ), because they both appear in the dual exposure - www.flickr.com/photos/statelibraryofnsw/37069858280/in/da...

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Thank you! It's not apparent from my comments above how I got there. First - id of Sydney University tower by the see-thru pinnacles, then searching "Carroll's Stables" in Trove, which turned out to be O'Carroll in Hereford Street Glebe - which points the wrong way to see Sydney Uni tower, and has been uptarted out of all recognition. Then tried cross streets until I found St Peters Church on the left in Woolley St; but The Abbey spire was in the way and should be there (hence the reference to the building being moved - I never knew that). Interesting because it is one of those sleuths which fell into place relatively logically, with not too many red herrings. Evidently Bridge Street at the far end was full of highly desirable residences, many of them still there. So why did Mr Macpherson take at least three photos of this street ? ... ...

Wentworth Park Panorama c. 1920

Wow - what a fascinating panorama!! It looks west towards Glebe, with Wattle Street in the foreground. It is a shame that this precinct was spoilt by the construction of the huge greyhound racing facility in 1932. Thankfully it is now being demolished.
Freiburg DL said:
SL NSW, this appears to be much earlier than 1924.
Examining the individual photos (which are offline atm)
- Not a single car in any of the images.
- Gas lighting still on Wattle St.
- Still undeveloped areas of Glebe.

Sydney Lead Works appears here on Wentworth Park Rd towards the Blackwattle Bay end...it evidently started operation in 1892...so that might be an earliest date...

But there's no sign of the shot tower, which was evidently built in ?1902-03...

This shot-tower was built in 1902, for the ‘Sydney Lead Works’ and designed by the architects Messrs. H. E. Ross and Slatyer and Cosh. The completed factory included a two-story brick building with the 46 metre tall tower next to it. After the ‘Sydney Lead Works’ moved to Waterloo in 1930 the site was taken over by Pabco Products Pty. Ltd. which manufactured roof and floor coverings. The new owners no longer used the tower to make shot and instead used it for storing chemicals. This would have fateful consequences as on 8 October 1937, disaster struck. Late that morning an explosion started a fire and within five minutes it had engulfed both floors of the 2,000 square metre factory. It then spread to the shot-tower

It is the first bridge at Richmond, NSW.

colinbm Yes it may be that our catalogue is not correct. Have you anything we can use to substantiate and I will look into getting the catalogue updated?

State Library of New South Wales Glebe Island Bridge has sharp turns on & off the bridge. Johnstons Bay doesn't have any sandbanks. Here are the old & new Richmond Bridges, still current. www.hawkesburygazette.com.au/story/3225258/road-history-i...

colinbm Good call ! Bits of this old wooden bridge are still there - goo.gl/maps/XEqXYbhJtKQEcuBi7 {Aside} the old bridge is just visible in Arthur Streeton's "The purple noon's transparent might" of 1896 - www.ngv.vic.gov.au/explore/collection/work/3060/
