Description
One of nine photos making up a panorama. View south towards Haymarket, Central and Ultimo, showing St Andrews Cathedral in foreground (spires not yet completed - 1874). Devonshire Cemetery, the Exhibition Building, Christ Church St Laurance, Haymarket in distance. Signs on buildings include Kangaroo Hotel (Alexander Yeend, 471 George Street, site of Bank of NSW), TJ Brown, Engineer (99 Bathurst Street) & Lawlers (John Lawler, 517 George Street). In 1873, Sydney photographer Francis W. Robinson undertook a perilous ascent of the clock tower of Sydney Town Hall, then nearing completion as the tallest structure in Sydney. His images record the Sydney skyline of that time.
