View of Canberra, from Red Hill

from Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection

  • Mich said:
    I am not an expert on Canberra, but this would appear to be a view looking northeast over Griffith, Kingston and Fyshwick towards the location of Canberra Airport. The military college is in the background on the left side of the photo.
  • Mich said:
    The cleared circle visible at the left edge of the photo would appear to be Collins Park.
  • Kenneth McIntosh said:
    the photo would be around 1935. I Grew up in 61 Leichhardt St where my parents moved in in late 1935 when that house had just been completed. The house is just recognisable to the right of the space that is now Eastlake Oval. Other houses in the neighbourhood on Kennedy St had not yet been finished.

    He was a civil engineer according to wikipedia, as well as being a Senator in the Irish Free State Seanad. ETA: I belatedly note that this was actually mentioned on the NLI photo page: "front facing portrait of Sir John Purser Griffith (1848-1938), Irish civil engineer and member of Seanad Éirean".
  • Niall McAuley said:
    He was a pioneer of turf burning power stations before Bord Na Mona existed.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    He was married to Sarah Purser, an artist who founded An Túr Gloine, an influential stained glass studio.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    Niall McAuley According to Turtle Bunbury, he married Nina Purser, Sarah Purser's cousin.

    There is a lot on the interweb about this interesting character. This is good for extra details - www.turtlebunbury.com/published/published_books/docklands... The story of Rathmines Castle where he lived (his older wife inherited it from her family - hence the Purser name) - davidhicksbook.blogspot.com/2015/01/rathmines-castle-rath... 1919 idea for a new harbour on Galway Bay - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/159311909 He was knighted in 1911; does this imply the photo is after then, or does the "Griffith" in pencil (see notes on the catalogue record) rather than 'Sir John Griffith' imply before 1911 ??
