    This image is about 120 years old. I wonder how many of the digital images taken in Grafton this week will be around in 2131?
  • Kiama Library said:
    it is very interesting to compare this image from 1890 to the ones of the floods in Grafton in 2011. Great quality image of a terrible time for those long ago residents.

    beachcomber australia Beachcomber this one is pretty mysterious, not many identifying details - unless one of our ship-pros can name a vessel!

    Trainiac Thanks for your suggestion! We have popped it into the database and hopefully some more clues will come our way :)

    This may help the little ferry at the wharf may be this one called the Una investigator.records.nsw.gov.au/asp/photosearch/photo.asp... Which ran on the Grafton River

    nugget1958 Terrific id of the UNA (what an odd-looking ferry!) and Grafton Clarence River. Confirmed with the first photo on this page, which shows a bit of the shed, wharf, and trees behind - www.graftonrowing.asn.au/history/ships10.htm .

    It was just about to be "re-modelled" for the widening of Sussex Street / Hickson Road (eastern side), near the junction with Napoleon street. The rebuilt warehouse is still there and partly recognisable - see Google Street View - g.co/maps/gnwy5 .

    The old warehouse in the middle of Sussex St. shows up on the c.1927 map - www.flickr.com/photos/state-records-nsw/6662642331/


    " The remodelling of the Grafton Bond consequent upon the widening of Hickson-road was further advanced by the demolition of the front portion of "E" Store, the erection of a new brick front, and the completion of the southern addition facing Sussex-street. "
    SMH 04/01/1928. p.9 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16431407


    I wonder if the original architect was the same as for this building nearby -
