    Philip Street used to be straight from Circular Quay to St James church - it now has a kink at Chifley Square - which is why this view is a bit puzzling. The 1890 map shows this clearly, together with the route of the steam tram line, one of the first in Sydney. www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview?pi=nla.map-rm1280-s1-sd&rg...
