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.

Barrack St looking east to George St. The GPO was a police building converted in the 1830s, then demolished in the 1860s for the current version. Across the road on the right, the building with columns is the Savings Bank, and on the corner of George St is the original David Jones store, opened in 1838.
