Hoarding Boards in Sydney

The City of Sydney says "Historic images are required to be used on temporary structures surrounding heritage building developments or located in heritage conservation areas of significance. To help you meet this requirement, we have prepared a hoarding design template you may use, available as an InDesign file. This template can be populated with historic images, either from preselected images curated by the City or your own images of the relevant building or streetscape."

This requirement certainly adds museum value to a walk along any city street with all the activity going on .

 



We also visited the street photo exhibition at the  Museum of Sydney on the site of the original Government House at Bridge & Phillip St.

This is the site of part of the Public Works Department in which I worked 1963-1966 (in the imposing colonial building opposite- this site was used by the Maintenance Branch and had a fibro building used as a services comfort area in World War II.)
Street photography was endemic when I was a boy. ( A photographer would bail you up and give a card to collect his snap. It was claimed that everyone in Sydney had got snapped. Here is mine (taken around 1943? I hope I stopped wearing dresses soon after that.)
