The Spit, Middle Harbour

from Powerhouse Museum

    Note the vehicular ferry, pre-dating the first "Spit Bridge". Note also the absence of all the now reclaimed land on the right of the sand spit, and that the main access is by Parriwi Road. The large number of street poles would indicate that the electric tram was in place, although I can't see one.

Private Arnold Atkins

    Arnold Atkins Born 24th June 1894 Yeadon near Leeds, West Yorks. Second child of Samuel Atkins [b.1868 Gledston, Norfolk] a Woollen Worker, and Lois Atkins nee Exley [b.1869 Yeadon, West Yorks.] The 1901 census records him living at 13 Walker Row, Yeadon, West Yorks. with his parents and siblings; Ivy [b.1893 Yeadon], Eva [b.1899 Yeadon] and William [b.1900 Yeadon]. The family also has a lodger living with them. The1911 census records him still living with his parents but now at 6 Dobroyd New Mill, Yeadon. The census records another sister, born since the last census, Lydia [b.1905 Yeadon]. Also living with family is his [now married] older sister’s husband and a lodger. Arnold is employed as a Woollen Weaver Pte. 201733 Arnold Atkins’ Attestation Papers have not survived so it is unclear where he joined up or how he came to be in the Seaforth Highlanders. Killed on 26th July 1916 he has no known grave and is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial.

The Spit Bridge, Seaforth

from Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection

  • Peter Geddes said:
    Good photo but I disagree with the title. The Spit Bridge links Mosman and Seaforth, Manly is further down the road.
  • Ken Beath said:
    Peter Geddes I agree, definitely not in Manly. The picture is taken from Seaforth, so the title might be "The Spit Bridge viewed from Seaforth".
  • Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:
    Yes, Seaforth would be more appropriate. I'll update the title. -AG

Middle Harbour, Sydney, New South Wales

from Powerhouse Museum

    Using Google Earth 3D (wow!), I figured out this is from Northbridge, looking NE towards Seaforth and Manly. Then it was quite easy to find out about 'Clavering' (now Dalwood Home) and the hulk ships in Powder Hulk Bay, using this history of Seaforth - www.manly.nsw.gov.au/IgnitionSuite/uploads/docs/History%2... . A construction date of the house should be the date of this photo.
