Sydney Streets, the latest exhibition from the City of Sydney's Archives and History Program, is now on-line. Sydney's streets tell something of our city's social history. Through their names, their alignments, their appearances and their disappearances, the streets of Sydney document and illustrate the city's evolution. The on-line exhibition Sydney Streets features over 100 historic photographs, maps, plans and documents from the City of Sydney Archives. There are fabulous photographs showing old streetscapes, views and vistas. Discover the origins of street names, lost laneways, woodblocked streets, the widening of Oxford Street in 1910, and much more.
