The air seems more polluted than today. The downside of concentrations of coal-fired furnaces and steam boilers and locomotives.
beachcomber australia said:
I think those are railway sheds if anything. It was a popular view - Henry King (c.1888?) - Arthur Phillips (c.1895?) Charles Kerry (c.1900?) Guessing Mr Hall's photo at about 1910?
beachcomber australia said:
Wait a minute - the railway opened in 1893 and I think they are building it here. The large size shows what looks to be stacks of rails. So 1892? That makes more sense with the square riggers in the background. Andy Brill It looks like a westerly wind, so all the smoke and filth from Balmain area is blowing towards the north shore.
beachcomber australia said:
Hmmm - the ferries and wharf buildings look more like c.1910 ...
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
Andy Brill beachcomber australia 1892 seems like a better date, though we will forward this photograph to a ferry expert for some advice about the ferries. Presuming you saw Catherine Warne's Pictorial History: Lower North Shore pp 67-71? Interesting!

pellethepoet Onya! I think early 1930s due to the one and only car, but after 1932 Bridge opening due to the lack of cranes on the pylons.

pellethepoet beachcomber australia Thank you! Such a great then and now comparison. We think that date is about right too :-)
