Athlone Place Athlone Place, Ultimo, c.1900. Athlone Place was resumed by Council in 1906, when some 400 dwellings and a maze of tiny lanes were removed. The area was subject to flooding and it was considered a deplorable slum. This photo shows two groups of semi-detached, single-storey buildings, with neighbours and children standing in their doorways chatting. (image: City of Sydney Archives, CRS 51/6) |
