Long Gully Bridge from Northbridge to Cammeray prior to opening c 1892

  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.

Suspension Bridge, Cammeray (NSW)

  I am pretty sure this is not the suspension bridge at Kangaroo Valley but the one that spans the Nepean River at Maldon, NSW. It still stands but is no longer open to traffic.

• Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:

  Thanks highplains68 you're right this isn't the bridge at Kangaroo Valley. Have a look at this document from North Sydeny Council. The bridge is the suspension bridge in Cammeray: www.northsydney.nsw.gov.au/resources/documents/13_suspens... -AG

• highplains68 said:

  Blimey you're right, fascinating outcome. btw keep posting these photos, there's some absolute gems amongst them!

Glass negatives including images of the Sydney and Manly areas, ca 1890-1910, by William Joseph Macpherson

  Suspension Bridge (aka Long Gully Bridge) linking Cammeray and Northbridge, northern suburbs of Sydney. The bridge crossed "Long Gully" and was built by a land developer intent on developing land on the northern side of the gully. Carried a tramway until just before World War II.
