Sydneytecture is about old photos of Sydney then and now in full, realised colour. I also geolocate old mystery photos.

I wanted to see how life would really look to our ancestors in these old faded, black & white photos. So more than just colouring, I work to make each photo as realistic as if it was taken by a modern camera. And for archival purposes, I ensure each is accurate to the original.

And now I share them here with you.

Most of my restored pics are best viewed enlarged, as the main pages have lo-res previews. Just click on them.

Google Street View is linked so you can check out how each scene is today.

All photos are from Trove, and all dates are confirmed via Sand's Directory and Dove's Maps.

I regularly upload new posts.
