Assuming this is 1901 like the others in The Rocks series, here is what Playfair St looked like 107 years later, on 09/07/2008 - http://www.flickr.com/photos/blue-boy/3334398119/ .

Has anyone seen any pictures of the row of stone terraces behind the houses on the left, hanging off gloucester street and overlooking playfair? There are a number of foundations of these houses remaining (on Gloucester Walk as it is today), but no information on the site (other than the house numbers etched into the pavement). Would be nice to have a picture..

http://www.flickr.com/photos/noctorum The best photo I can think of is this from the top of the Earth Exchange chimney. The terrace(s) (2 x 3) are marked 'McEwans Ales' - click through to the enormous size - http://www.flickr.com/photos/state-records-nsw/4350240764/ Also at far right (from the other direction) - http://www.flickr.com/photos/state-records-nsw/3863063529/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/pellethepoet will come up with more no doubt!
