Cottage, High Holborn Street Surry Hills, circa 1900

Description

Unique IDA-00036139SeriesDemolition Books [Municipal Council of Sydney / City of Sydney]Date1900Date qualifiercircaFormatPhotograph - PrintDescriptionWell-dressed girls play in the spreading branches of a large old tree in the yard of a dilapidated cottage at 45 High Holborn Street, Surry Hills. Behind them is a group of children crowded on the back steps to pose for the council's photographer in circa 1900. The water standpipe in the yard may have been the household’s only supply of water. J W Haxby was the last occupant of this typical timber workman’s dwelling in 1900. With its collapsing paling fence and broken window and roof tiles, it had seen better days and was earmarked for demolition in just a few months. The building owner, Sarah Robins, lived next door at number 43.LanguageEnglish (eng)Author/creatorCity of SydneyDigitised recordYesGeographic location^[1]
