    Where is this ?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    I do not know where this is yet, but I have an idea that the bridge (which does not look like convict masonry to me) might be a railway bridge, due to the shallow gradient of the approaches and its apparent strange location half way down a hill away from the town. The church is fairly distinctive, as are all the pre-federation large houses. Blue Mountains?

    It's interesting that the clouds were obviously put on the negative with someone's finger. They look very wrong, yet add to the depth of the photograph.

    ?Lennox Bridge, Lapstone, NSW

    Its not the Lennox Bridge at Lapstone. Nothing like it at all. Its quite puzzling. I wonder if it could be down the back of Marrickville somewhere.

    pellethepoet Fantastic work! A plethora of panoramas! I think the photo / series is much earlier - possibly mid 1880s. It gets very confusing with which grandstand is "new" in the Trove newspaper reports, and the various extensions, fires and rebuilds. The style of the photos suggest earlier to me, as does the lack of Boater hats. Also in the bottom right photo above, Randwick is still just a collection of large houses, but I think the left photo shows the Tram sheds (1880?) in King Street. There is a great illustration of the new grand stand when it was built in 1876, which almost matches this photo, except for a newer St Leger Stand (1882) - Illustrated Sydney News 29/4/1876 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/63333703

    I forgot I had a Randwick Racecourse photo in my collection. Much later though, 1920s. (Apologies for the shameless self-promotion!)
