Brickfield creek -
brickfield creek
Early colonial records indicate that a simple log bridge carried the road to Parramatta across the main creek near the Brickfields settlement's brick kilns. First marked on a map dated 1891, this bridge was located somewhere near the intersection of Hay and Pitt Streets. The section of Pitt Street between Hay Street and Railway Square was originally the beginning of Parramatta Road which began at the bridge.
According to a map dated 1802 drawn by French explorer Francois Peron, a bridge also existed over a small creek which flowed into Darling Harbour on its western side. That bridge was located where the flyover takes the Western Distributor over Pyrmont Street. The path which crossed the creek at the bridge provided access to the farm of Surgeon John Harris and followed the line of Harris Street. The creek is believed to have had its source within the site of the Sydney Institute of Technology, Ultimo. It is now an underground drain.

George McCrae - New South Wales Colonial Architect - Sydney Municipality Building
Sydney Municipality Building
This Building Waa Designed By The colonial architect George McCrae And Was Built In 1896. He Had Been Appointed As The Head Colonial Architect For The City Of Sydney During The Golden Era Of the Victorian Era.
George McCrae Was Also The Architect behind The Design Of The queen Victoria Building. & Would You believe He Wet as Far As Designing Four Different Styles For The "Queen Victoria Markets" Which We Now Call The Queen Victoria Building
George McCrae Did A Gothic Revival, Queen Anne Style, Renaissance & Romanesque. I wonder where His Other versions Of The Queen Victoria Building Are Ok If They've Ever Seen the Light When The Romanesque Style Was Decided Upon.
