    Phew! Took me a while to find this - at the junction of Abercrombie Street and Cleveland Street. GoogleMapsStreetView - goo.gl/maps/fQtwz See also this map at original size for the tram routes -

    Walk/run/cycle this junction most days - great to see it so familiar from a previous era!

    Also on Historypin - www.historypin.com/channels/view/8934049/#tab-home|map/in... (Boo hoo it doesn't link to the photo, but look for Cleveland Street ... )
  • Mich said:
    Lanfranchi's alley on the right. I am not quite convinced, isn't Cleveland St between Abercrombie and City Road running down and up ? This looks too flat.

    Building at far left was the local Post Office. Its façade has since been incorporated in a modern apartment block.

    See beachcomberaustralia's link - it's a double-up, posted to flickr nearly a year apart - they both link to the same persistent URL.

'Surrey Hills' - RAHS/Osborne Collection c. 1930s

from Royal Australian Historical Society

  • pellethepoet said:
    This isn't Surry Hills, but Darlinghurst. I used to get a good view of the buildings as I approached along Womerah Avenue, on my may to work in Paddington when I lived in Elizabeth Bay. The view is from Liverpool Street, with West Street branching off at right between the two buildings - both of which still exist. The building at right, 431 Liverpool Street, was erected in 1884 by Austin Kinnane, General Grocer.


    Google Maps Street View - goo.gl/maps/F8GlU

    So not only should 'Surrey Hills' be 'Surry Hills' as you've noticed, but 'Surry Hills' should be 'Darlinghurst'!

    pellethepoet Thanks, that saved me hours of frustrating and distracting GoogleMapsStreetViewing. The photographer had a good eye for interesting perspectives. Always reminded of the Yogi Berra quote, "When you come to a fork in the road, take it."

    beachcomber australia The Robur Tea sign reminds me of Stephen Fry on QI, "I'm a little teapot, short and stout. Here is my handle, — oh bugger, I'm a sugar bowl!"
