RIO BLANCO at the wheat silos, Glebe Island, Sydney

  • Peter Cundall said:
    The ship was built in 1922 and was 4086 grt. Owned by the Thompson Steam Shipping Co and sunk 1 April 1942 by U 160 in the North Atlantic. The ship was unusual, having corrugated sides but these are not apparent in the photo.

The Waterfall, Poulaphouca, Co. Wicklow

    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 ? ... ...
