    It's interesting to play Spot The Differences with these two photos. They were definitely taken on different days - see the patterns on the road surface, and the pot plants in the pub windows. And of course, the children.

    Not sure exactly where this was in Gloucester Street (before realignment). 1895 map - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview/?pi=nla.map-rm3443-sd&rgn=... Help!

    It may be on the eastern side of Gloucester Street, between Section 77 and Section 78 on this 1889 map. - acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/_zoomify/2008/D00663/a1367459.html Note the footprint of the buildings, especially the wall. The building beyond though not on the map may have been built on the vacant block of land - it looks to be 1890s construction to me. If so, the view is looking south.

    pellethepoet That makes sense. It's like an Escher print around the old Gloucester Street. I think this might be the back side of the 'Ship and Mermaid' in Cambridge Street -

    On the corner of Gloucester and Cumberland Streets, where the Australian Hotel now is.

    Three (?) years before, in 1898 - Sir William Johnson (1862-1932) "[The Whalers Arms, Gloucester Street, Sydney]" 1898 (NLA) - nla.gov.au/nla.pic-an2265550

    Not quite on the corner of Gloucester and Cumberland Street, rather Gloucester and Cumberland Lane (formerly Cribbs Lane). The Australian Hotel is further back to the right of this photo. The Whalers Arms Hotel was across from Susannah Place, as can be seen here where the new YHA development on The Dig Site is. This is my favourite photo of The Whalers Arms, its so evocative. I seem to recall reading somewhere that it was operating as a lodging house in 1901. The more things change the more they stay the same!

    As we all know there has never been a shortage of hotels in The Rocks!

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Pubs of Australia, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    Believed to be the same cottage as the one at right:
