Pitt Street Mall, Sydney Tower

This view of the old and the new is from Pitt Street Mall. The historic shopfronts along the mall have been retained alongside the new office building and Sydney Tower rising above.

    1. Luckily for W.H. Soul, there is still a chemist at this site today, although it's now known as Soul Pattinson Chemist.

  8. The historic shop fronts along the mall look fantastic.. and historic.
    I may be in the minority here but what a tragedy being able to see the modern buildings above the heritage buildings.

  11. Great composition and contrasting styles. The tower, left behind in size by all the highrises gets another chance in the picture...
