Paradise Row Smithers Street, c.1900. This little street was known as Paradise Row until c.1870. The row of houses was owned by Thomas Broughton, slum landlord and Mayor, 1846. The houses were notoriously bad: jerrybuilt barrack-type houses which sheltered too many of the city’s poor in the 1840s and 50s. (image: City of Sydney Archives, CRS 51/25) |
