Smith's Wharf, 1900

As far as I can tell, "Smith's Wharf" was on the western edge of Millers Point - we are looking south up Darling Harbour. The wharf was redeveloped shortly after, as in this 1903 photo of the reverse view, then known as Dalgety's Wharf - The amazing thing is that John Degotardi Jnr the photographer managed to make a routine photo of a barge clearing rubbish from a wharf into an interesting study in composition, perspectives, light and shapes. I bet he was also responsible for the photo above and these -

beachcomber australia Yep, spot on. This map shows the location of Smith's Wharf, the same location as the "new" Dalgety's Wharf opened in 1903 after the Darling Harbour Resumptions - Plan E, Map of Resumption Area bounded by Darling Harbour, Port Jackson, Kent Street North, Windmill Street, and Bettington Street (Within section 92), 03 May 1900.

pellethepoet Eeek! Your link says "Invalid entity path", whatever that means. Try this for Plan E - gallery.records.nsw.gov.au/wp-content/gallery/darling-har... And for all the Resumption Maps - gallery.records.nsw.gov.au/index.php/galleries/maps-and-p...

beachcomber australia Thanks, the image page must be displayed on a temporary page. ~~I've changed the link to the permanent item record.~~ Scrub that, it appears you can't link to the record page either. (I was trying to link to Archives Investigator map which is higher resolution than the gallery version.)

beachcomber australia Nice work, from Smith's Wharf to Dalgety's Wharf! pellethepoet Yes, for some reason we can't link to items in Archives Investigator from Flickr. A very roundabout way is to go to: Archives Investigator --> Advanced Search --> 19348 (in Series Number) then you will see Plan E in the list of Items. AB

Fab, This is where my grandfather was born in the 1860s. It has helped to give me a clearer picture of the area.

Paid whom? The photographer or the family?

They're still dressed better than most people today!

Michiel2005 You're right. Sorry, I was unclear... Mrs White paid A.H. Poole photographers to take this photo.

This is just so powerful on so many levels that it is hard to look at, hard to see and hard not to feel deeply moved by it. Three times over the past twenty four hours members of my family have mentioned the homeless and the current weather conditions and then this photograph appears, what a powerful image to reinforce that problem? If Mrs. White paid to have this photograph taken it was not for her delectation but to be used to illustrate a point and we are the beneficiaries of her munificence. This shot is so stark and such a powerful reminder of the brutality of poverty and how it can affect across those generations. Super if disturbing shot Carol, thank you for the reminder!
