You don't see rivers covered by a concrete lid too often

Mr Hall also took this - and Henry King was nearby -
Dale said:
beachcomber australia The bridge looks like it has scaffolding along the underside of the deck, and each top tower has a ladder. I wonder if we are seeing the bridge near complete?
beachcomber australia said:
Dale That is what we worked out from the other photo. About January 1892 when the bridge opened. Heritage NSW - www.rms.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/index.cgi?action=heritage.show...

Photographer Henry King was at the other end at about the same time (see LH pavement, unless one image needs flipping). See comments etc -
beachcomber australia said:
Ha! You can see the bollards / oildrums / roadblock at the other end of the King photo at hi-res here - www.powerhousemuseum.com/collection/database/?irn=30608
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
beachcomber australia Thanks for the links beachcomber. Wow, those images are quite similar and it's possible they may have both been there at the same time. They may have been on the same side as this is a glass plate negative. Also, there aren't any properties on the land in the background, and the bridge was built to encourage developments on the other side.
