These were inhabited by the 'tradies' of the time, eg masons. But as Sydney prospered during the 1840s-1860s so the merchant class expanded from The Rocks and started building their double-fronted terraces at the top of Oxford Street with views back to the burgeouning town and down to the glistening harbour. Many of these terraces are still there today - lots actually. Double/triple fronted and 3 storeys to take in the view. Nowadays they change hands readily for $3-$5 million.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917748826116414599.post-13950501727242201182011-02-16T22:19:54.662+11:002011-02-16T22:19:54.662+11:00A quaint sort after suburb with beaut views.Wasn&#...A quaint sort after suburb with beaut views.Wasn't it originally a working man's suburb?diane bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002292118984909883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917748826116414599.post-21836204182131833642011-02-16T17:25:16.313+11:002011-02-16T17:25:16.313+11:00Like the end view to Sydney Tower- gleaming gold.Like the end view to Sydney Tower- gleaming gold.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00228604486090869506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917748826116414599.post-12396701013156679132011-02-16T15:33:13.629+11:002011-02-16T15:33:13.629+11:00These shots remind me of the back streets of Bruns...These shots remind me of the back streets of Brunswick or Carlton in Melbourne, Victoria :-).Windsmoke.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12225394580987872677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917748826116414599.post-88711009986347463662011-02-16T09:05:20.780+11:002011-02-16T09:05:20.780+11:00I'm eager to see the remaining ways.

I'm sure there are pigeons in every city everywhere!<br />Also interesting how street names can often be the same in Australia and Canada, because we both started off as British colonies. Glenmore Road (Kelowna, British Columbia) and Broughton Street (Vancouver, BC) are familiar names from my youth. <br />-- K<br /><br />Kay, Alberta, Canada<br />An Unfittie's Guide to Adventurous TravelKay L.
