How good is this! Google "Joshua's Boomerang Brandy" to get an advert in the Sydney Morning Herald on 30 July 1897 - news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1301&dat=18970730&... This is a reverse view of this photo - www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/2713156400/

beachcomber australia I'll acknowledge your excitement on Powerhouse Museum's behalf: Très, très bien!

pellethepoet Ha! That was 22 months ago, when I was young and innocent (ignorant?), and Trove hadn't been invented. At the time is was amazing ... 22 months ago Google newspapers did not go far enough back for most of these photos, but I see that it does now. It is much clearer to read than Trove, and doesn't seem yo rely on that program which suffers hugely from misspellings needing correction. Worth further investigation ...

SE corner with Margaret Street ?? Sussex and Margaret no longer intersect, except with a steep stairway.

I've just been rediscovering pub photos! Yes ... SE Corner :)

Been checking the old map!

Nicole Davis Welcome back to the Sydney pub crawl ! Which map are you using - is it online? I have always found this 1895 map to be very detailed, reliable, and easily to link to - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview/?pi=nla.map-rm3443-sd&rgn=...

beachcomber australia Thanks! No it's a 1910 map that is far more detailed with every business listed and the outlines of the buildings. It's been digitised but never put online for some reason, which is a real shame!

The South Australian Advertiser (Adelaide, SA : 1858-1889) (about) < Page 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8of 8 < shows Caldwell & Howes in Sussex Street destroyed by fire in 1883. thas was just Howes, late Caldwell & Howes" in 1889

pastpix Thanks for the info. I found a Sydney Morning Herald article on Trove about the fire in 1883. Please add your link if you still have it.
