    Just a thought... If this is in the UK (London), why are all the vehicles driving on the wrong side of the road? They should be on the left hand side, not the right...

    I guess the transparency was scanned the wrong way round. Simple to flip over to get it all correct. The road markings, signage and buildings do look typically British.

    Definitely a reversed image. If you're familiar with the local geography then you are facing west towards Hanger Lane: the spur off the roundabout should be to the south not the north as here. Having said all that the traffic driving on the wrong side of the road is a dead giveaway.

    The traffic is indeed a dead giveaway. (Well spotted everyone). Duly flipped.

    This is great! The bridge looks so close to this today, makes me miss living in Sydney.
  • Christian Biggins said:
    Except the trains have been shunted off the side because of how many cars there are.

    I love exploring our history, I recently assisted my daughter with a project on the building of the Sydney Harb Bridge and whilst I didn't have access at the time to this site I had the pleasure of locating various photo's which I saved and reprinted via a USB and a Store, my daughter intends keeping her "A" mark for this assignment, the pics make it so realistic as though you were there taking pics
  • astrogirl969 said:
    Its interesting that there appears to be train lines on both sides of the bridge where these days the line is only one side.
  • Darren Davis said:
    Great stuff State Library. There were trains on that side (as they still are today) and I think trams ran on the opposite side where cars now drive.
