  A nice 1970's image. I find it interesting that the adult male is also wearing "flares". Where I come from he would have been considered an old guy trying to look young.

  Fascinating stuff... at first I thought the photo was taken in the 1930s, then I noticed the boy is wearing bell bottoms!

  Great very 'Steptoe & Son' when the tv series ran?

  Absolutely love this. Street photography at it's peak. "Oi, tinker. Fancy posing for a few minutes while I get set up and if you don't mind, put your best menacing face on?" . I could imagine doing that now with a couple of grands worth of stuff strapped to your back in the current climate?

Rosebery tram in crowded street, corner Pitt and Market Streets Sydney, ca. 1937

  What is missing is the reason for the crowd. Wouldn't Westfield who now occupy the whole block at the right of this photo be dreaming of enjoying the trade of such numbers of potential customers now?

  Wonderful image of old Sydney, the Pitt St frontage of Farmers department store on left, sign to Anthony Horderns George St store through the Strand Arcade and Prouds jewellers further down. Although the awning sign says Gilbert & Sullivan, I see Kirsova was dancing with the Russian Ballet at the Theatre Royal in 1937, the performance may have just finished, it had seating for 1200. The pedestrians obviously have no fear of trams. SHOW NEWS (1937, January 4). The Daily Telegraph (Sydney, NSW : 1931 - 1954), p. 4.
