Paramount Theatre, Newcastle upon Tyne

  Tried to make the title of the film out on show but cant.

• vickiandsi said:

  I think it's 'Monte Carlo', a 1930 Paramount film starring the actors you can see clearly on the sign. I can just about make the words out, as well as 'Ernst Lubitsch' underneath, who was the director.

365 George Street - W.H. Paling Building, Sydney (NSW)

from Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection

• beachcomber australia said:

  c. 1890 - see comments at the related photos - The buildings were resumed and demolished for the creation of Martin Place, previously Moore Street.

• Highranger said:

  Wow I didn't know that, thanks BC. Martin Place figuratively speaking no doubt, as it remained a street for quite a while more?

• beachcomber australia said:

  Highranger This is more complicated than I imagined. The road between George and Pitt Streets was known as "St Martin's Lane"; and "Moore Street" between Pitt and Castlereagh Streets (see 1880 map) "St Martin's Lane" became "Martin Place" and "Moore Street" stayed (see 1895 map). I am not yet sure when the whole street became known as Martin Place, maybe not until the 1920s when it was knocked right through to Macquarie Street. How very confusing! Interesting detailed article about the 'new' street, including the compensation payments to Palings etc - SMH 11/05/1892 p.8 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13843677 .
