Bond Street, Sydney 1898

This is how Sydney generally used to look in the C19th. So much of it was swept away in the 60s and 70s for mass modernism, before it was collectively realised how much history, beauty and heritage had been lost. It's still going on, just to a lesser extent.

I enhanced the photo from a very dark original which is why it looks a little patchy. Some of the detail had been lost in the under-exposure.

Anyway, from the same corner as above. Google Street View (clickable).
