Views of Sydney, 1926

    Strictly speaking, I think it's Pitt Street, looking north, at the intersection of Eddy Ave (right) and Rawson Place (left).

    Nat Thankyou, I have found a similar Google Street View. We will amend the caption. AB

    The foreground shows a coupled set of 'P' type trams with another coupled set turning off to the right.

Pitt Street, near Spring Street

    Looking south. The Exchange Hotel is still there.
  • Philip Cohen said:
    "Near Spring Street"? It's taken from Bridge Street; Spring Street is almost out of sight …

    The persistent URL is now a dud...sometimes... trove.nla.gov.au/work/247382083 - Trove link to version at PHM... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/228844645 - the Sun, 20th October, 1912...pic of the AMP Building nearing completion... The version of the slide at the PHM shows the buildings further South in Pitt St...including the tower on the Pitt St facade of the Imperial Arcade...which from a distance looks like a clock tower without the clock. This tower was demolished in the earlier 20th century...but I haven't yet managed to establish a date... trove.nla.gov.au/work/244641928 - this City of Sydney Archives pic of Her Majesty's Theatre shows the Pitt St facade of the Imperial Arcade with the tower... Also see this (? later) pic which shows the AMP building nearing completion and a building site where the New Zealand Insurance Building was to appear...it shows the later style street light... www.flickr.com/photos/anmm_thecommons/8615355732/ trove.nla.gov.au/work/190055464 - this NLA Fairfax pic...taken from further to the South...shows how things looked in ca. 1916...with the newly completed Commonweath Bank Building (opposite the GPO) dominating the skyline further along Pitt St...the Commonwealth Bank Building was evidently built in the period 1913-16...

View down Pitt Street towards Circular Quay showing the Paragon Hotel, Ship Inn and the Bulletin Building. The small ferry with bow into the wharf, left of centre, is the Parramatta River ferry HALCYON

    So it is actually Pitt Street, then ?
  • samdefranc said:
    I'm pretty sure it's George Street.
