Announcement:

October 23: Ladies and gentlemen, I am currently reposting all my image restorations, as those posted so far have, it turns out, been reduced in size by the Blogger platform. This means you have been viewing low resolution, low quality versions instead of the actual restored images. I didn't realise this. I intended you to see, upon clicking, the restored historic details of the original pictures. The fix should be complete in the next week or so.

Darlinghurst Road 1870 Hynde's windmill

Original Archival

Today (Google)
St John's church school, which was later demolished to make way for a service station. Hynde's windmill at rear, before Nimrod Street was put through, the mill demolished and its stone blocks reused to build Beare's Stairs in Caldwell Street behind it. And at the back of the mill is Craigend, the villa and huge garden of Thomas Mitchell, which are now blocks of flats from the 1920s.
