At 5:33 Blanchfields Hotel demolished to widen Goulburn Street

At 3:43 the partially visible building on the right appears similar to the CBC bank building that now occupies the site at 343 George Street. At first glance I took it for the present building but then noticed the height. The building shown must have been torn down to build a similar but much taller building in the 20's. Sadly many buildings in Sydney have a life expectancy of no more than a few decades. Also different columns, Ionic on the present building.

Even stranger is that the post office building on George Street in early photo’s, has two, end pillars with arch, and only 3 inner arches with beautiful ornaments over them, now it has 5 ornamental arches, and the 2 pillars with arch). In other photos a little later (around 2 years) they did add another couple of storeys to the top. I’m just confused how they stretched it. All pictures I have saved, show they face George St (they all have the clock). I know the building well as I worked for a shipping company in the early 90’s I was 19 & had to get our mailing machine re - collaborated, and pay for future posting. Also they still had a man that operated the cage elevator in uniform. He must have been at least late 60’s, maybe 70+.

At 10.02 it’s not Parramatta Rd, but cnr of Canterbury Rd and Livingstone Rd. The facade of the Beynon and Hayward building is still there today.

5:50 is King Street not George Street! Prouds was on the corner of King and Pitt Streets.

Looking east along King Street. I think for well over a century Prouds were at that location opposite Kings Hotel. The location now has 'Tiffany & Co.' signs

Very good Peter. Just one thing I noticed at the 5:49 mark, you have annotated George St. The picture shows Prouds Jewellery store which is in King St cornering Pitt St. Wonderful music as well.

When you look at these old photos of Sydney it makes you realise how much property developers and real estate agents really f**ked things up. Once you get away from the harbour, Sydney is a ugly place now.

From a population of almost zero British folk in 1800, they, in only 90 years, were supposed to have built all of those multi-storied buildings by 1900. Impossible. You need a major manpower workforce, and, a skilled one at that. Someone is not telling the truth.
