King Street, Sydney

This row of buildings is featured in one of the plague album pictures, but several years earlier than this photo. Several businesses have changed, the Caledonian Hotel at left has a new awning, and the cable tram has been replaced by electricity as well as turning the corner to finish at Erskine Street. So about 1905-1910? Plague Album No.1, no.55 - acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/album/ItemViewer.aspx?itemid=823637&am...

At www.will-robson.com/keyword/victoria;kingston/i-RtrHJZs/A this has been identified as King Street, Kingston, showing Victoria Market, at far right. See www.will-robson.com/keyword/victoria;kingston/ for more pictures of the market. jamaica-history.weebly.com/kingston-market.html indicates that the market was built in 1872.

See from the Caribbean Photo Archive.

A very similar view is at nljdigital.nlj.gov.jm/items/show/996#?c=0&m=0&s=0... That photo is dated 1898, and I would guess the original of this is close to that date.

jamaicanechoes.com/time-traveling-on-the-kingston-waterfr... indicates that the old buildings were demolished in 1970.

Thanks swanq and B-59; we will update our records to reflect this additional specific information.

Looking east from George Street. Seems to have been a popular corner to photograph: www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/2610181978/ and www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/2376884304/

The Arc lamp post (note on left) dates this as post 1904 - cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/history/SydneyStreets/Minding_the...
beachcomber australia said:
And the electric tram on this line (previously a cable tram) as post 1905.

Not that it isn't now, but Sydney really was an amazing city back then, it appears to have had a wonderful character. Comparing it to modern buildings of glass and concrete, I can't help wish it remained how it was.

There seems to be three police officers at this intersection. One in the middle, one to his right (mostly obscured by two pedestrians) and one at left, left of the light pole.
