If only this spacious elegance was still there! Also noticeable in these old photographs is the lack of street furniture and signage that blights modern photography of street scenes in our towns and cities.

There is a definite sense of newness and pride, even with a little horse-poo evident to the right. ;)

Simply amazing! I'd love so much to go for a walk up 1858 princes street with no crowds, shops, buses or people with clip boards looking money. It makes me sad that all this character has been paved over and commercialised, the only way the city would survive though. I'd rather dodge the odd pile of horse poo than pushy charity workers ;-)
Strevo said:
How I wish Princes Street was still like this rather than the mish mash of mediocre architecture!

Princes Street, 1927

Herbert Gallop painted a picture looking the other way from behind the building far right.

The NLA has it dated "ca.1925", but it must be slightly after this photo in May 1927.

beachcomber australia Nice one. Go tell 'em.

Princes St was supposed to be quite posh but it doesnt look like it here.
John Cowper said:
beachcomber australia pellethepoet Mich When they built the bridge they also demolished the congregation at St Philip's and Holy Trinity Churches. It's only now that apartments have appeared in York, Clarence and Kent Streets that the congregations are growing significantly. Barangaroo will change the character of this corner of Sydney yet again.
