No. 1 Sussex Street, which is very pleasing to the eye, was an office block designed by Willliam Wardell. Wardell was also the architect of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Melbourne.

It looks like a scene straight out of Dickens! At the junction of Napoleon and Sussex Streets, looking south. The 1890 map shows "Grafton Wharf" and the kink in Sussex Street apparent in this photo. www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview?pi=nla.map-rm1280-s1-sd&rg...

My GGG Grandfather Richard Sim had one of his many flour mills at Grafton Wharf in the 1860s. His daughter (my GG Grandmother) Louisa Maud Sim was born in Sussex Street in 1866. Her birth certificate confirms this fact. Her son (my great grandfather) stated in his diary that his mother was born in Sussex St where all the wharves were. I believe the area that was once Grafton Wharf is now Barrangaroo?

kerle61 Yes, it is the southern end of what is becoming Barangaroo. GoogleMapsStreetView - goo.gl/maps/YWkxT3idGf32 . The warehouse at left (Grafton Bond) is still there, but foreshortened to enable the extension of Sussex Street.

How good is this! Google "Joshua's Boomerang Brandy" to get an advert in the Sydney Morning Herald on 30 July 1897 - news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1301&dat=18970730&... This is a reverse view of this photo - www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/2713156400/

beachcomber australia I'll acknowledge your excitement on Powerhouse Museum's behalf: Très, très bien!

pellethepoet Ha! That was 22 months ago, when I was young and innocent (ignorant?), and Trove hadn't been invented. At the time is was amazing ... 22 months ago Google newspapers did not go far enough back for most of these photos, but I see that it does now. It is much clearer to read than Trove, and doesn't seem yo rely on that program which suffers hugely from misspellings needing correction. Worth further investigation ...
