Broadway, c.1910sGeorge Street West in c.1910 taken from the heights of the Grace Bros. building before the widening of the street to create Broadway. Trams run down the centre of the street, sharing the road with horse drawn carts, sulkies, delivery vans and cars. The Kent Brewery is in the background. Broadway is a busy thoroughfare in 2003. The RTA camera mounted on the old Grace Bros. building to monitor traffic provides us with a similar perspective to our old photograph. The stack of the old Kent Brewery can still be seen behind the buildings. (“Then” image: City of Sydney Archives, SRC photographic files; “Now” image: Courtesy of the RTA) |
