Millers Point, showing houses before construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, 1925-1927, Milton Kent

  Date maybe later 1923...or very early 1924... Earliest date: Astor apartments, Macquarie St - completed 1923 ; Latest date: no Bank of NSW Building, Pitt St/Bridge St/Macquarie Place - built 1923-25...the space where it was built is vacant...so it's possible that the construction might be in an early stage but not visible... trove.nla.gov.au/work/189118099 - I suspect this NLA Fairfax aerial pic was taken on 9th April, 1924 when the visiting Special Service Squadron arrived in Sydney...if you zoom in you can see that the Bank of NSW Building at Macquarie Place was well under construction by this point...ditto Australia House in Carrington St...ditto the Kembla Building, in Margaret St near Wynyard...

  Should be able to cross reference with the open cut for the underground railway as well.

• Philip Cohen said:

  Harbour View Hotel completed 1922; no sign of southern bridge approach; no sign of underground work on Wynyard station, etc; the date has to be, at the very earliest, 1922; 1925 at the latest; I too am happy with circa 1924 …

  They would never have envisioned a #bridgeclimb as they clambered around up there in space with no OHS to worry about...

• beachcomber australia said:

  Must be soon after 2/12/1930, the date on this one (see fewer hanging girders) -

• beachcomber australia said:

  The six-masted sailing ship in the distance (see note) is the 'Helen B, Sterling'. See the bridge being built in this reverse view - Sad history of the Sterling ships - nicolecama.com.au/project/the-sterlings/
