Moore Street (now Martin Place), Sydney

    With the motor vehicles and the Foden steam lorry, and the building of the CBA building (opened in 1916), this must be later than most of the Kerry collection, c.1915.

    Fairly short shadows at 12:55pm - summer.

    Moore Street! Moore street originally existed as little more than a laneway (like Bond Street) between Pitt and Castlereagh Streets and is still such a laneway on 1896 map; 1903 map shows it widened to match section between George and Pitt. This picture taken from Castlereagh Street before the final extension, completed in 1935; CBA building commenced 1913; completed 1916, so the photos is definitely c.1915, not 1900. Moore Street was renamed Martin Place in 1921.

    Not headed for the Steam Rally, anyway; that only started in 1965.

    Looks like the running gear from a Sherman tank; is that where the name comes from Sher(man)Vick(ers)?
