Ha! I have been waiting for this photo to turn up. Which part of "Kent Street, The Rocks" was ever bent?. (Reminds me of an unrepeatable old limerick).

beachcomber australia Right you are - it never did! Thanks to the other photo we've been working on - www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/2362655413/ - the "Oak" fragment is clearly identifiable as the Royal Oak on Miller's Road, Millers Point. Serendipity!

Same section of road as depicted here, where "Miller's Rd curves from Kent St to Moore's Rd"

Hmm Hickson road is too straight and Kent street is too bent

pellethepoet Thanks, I hoped you might know about this. It is not easy to identify no-longer-existing streets from 120 year-old photos and maps. Serendipity indeed.

The Captain Cook Hotel swallowed Mr J. Boyce's store and gave him the boot! Google street view: maps.google.com.au/maps?q=-33.860765,151.208045&sll=-...

It sure did. We're hoping to upload some more images of shops soon - it'll be interesting to see what's become of them.

It was torn down in the 1920s and this went up in its place.

Pretty sure that's the same building. Just with a new facade - the windows are all in the same positioning exactly, as is the divider on the roof. It's merely an update in style or 'facelift.'

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Pubs of Australia, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
