Heritage is about the things from the past which
are valued enough today to save for tomorrow.

Where is it?

21 August 2009

We have just received permission from the National Archives of Australia to use a magnificent collection of photographs from the Telstra Archive of Perth in the early years of the twentieth century.

In the weeks to come we plan to publish a number of these photos to how some of the buildings of Perth we know and love today looked in their early years.

The collection is generally very well catalogued, but the photo below was rather vague and simply gave the location as “St George’s Terrace and Hay Street”. After looking at the photo for a while inspiration struck and we’ve now worked out exactly where it was taken …can you?
