    Something way wrong with the date of this "earlier than 1958", when the current bridge was completed. There was a previous 1924 bridge, not in evidence here. So before 1924??

    Interesting to compare with an earlier (no tram loop) photo by Charles Kerry ...

    beachcomber australia The balloon loop ceased to be used on 11 June 1923 as it stood in the way of the southern approaches to the 'new' bridge. The water tank, which was also in the way of the approach was relocated on 17 July 1923.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    John Cowper Do you know when the loop was built? That might provide an earliest date.

    I can't see Grotto Point Light (see note), which should show as a white blob, as it does on streetview. Built in 1910-11, the lack of it might drag the photo date even earlier to before 1910. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grotto_Point_Light (one of my favourite places in all of Sydney, but sshh, don't tell anyone!).
