These great old photos should also be in the Picture Australia pool.

Another wonderful picture of the not-so-good old days. Dated "August 1901" - it was just after an outbreak of bubonic plague in the Rocks. The whole area was resumed by the NSW government for slum clearance. Maybe these photos were taken for evidence? The next photo is from the other end of the street, possibly at the same time.

RAT'S @RSE ! Thanks lifeasdaddy for those charming pictures - put me off my breakfast. It is fun to see what were once considered to be complete slums, are now referred to as a 'renovator's delight'.
