Sydneytecture: Circular Quay 1876 Unloading Locomotive

Circular Quay 1876 Unloading Locomotive

Original

Today (Google)

The west side of the Quay, in Pitt Street looking south past the Commissariat at right, and east below. Two small pictures I think are very illustrative of how hand-made and hand-done life was before mass production. I have no more information about the photos beyond the title.

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

I wanted to see how real life would 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.
