There is a cobblestone laneway to the right; this was Holt Place, a private lane which ran off Elizabeth Street. The large building in the distance was a factory built in circa 1889 at 539 Elizabeth Street for English company Barrett & Co; the company name is inscribed on the parapet. They had patents for glass bottles that were designed to keep the fizz in aerated waters, cordials and beers.
