Street names

In the nineteenth century, the City Council erected street name signs on the facades of buildings. These were typically placed on corners. This is the corner of Druitt and Clarence Streets, 1914. The street names are attached to Sweeney’s Hotel. Note also the street lamp and the light above the pub door helping you to find your way.
