The entrance to the Susannah Place Museum is down the stairs from Gloucester Street and along the Cumberland Place laneway at The Rocks. Susannah Place is a terrace of four houses built by Irish immigrants in 1844 and includes a recreated corner shop whose window can be seen here. The heritage listed museum allows visitors to experience how families lived, worked and played in the past.
Very interesting. I like the window on the left :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an intriguing place to visit. I'd love to go there.
ReplyDeleteThere are so much interesting museums worldwide. I'd like to visit this one if I could!
ReplyDeleteWonderful trim around the window. Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind heading down those stairs and having a look inside!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to tour there too! What a time that was for the Irish - and what a long journey to Sydney it must have been.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I do like the pink building though.

The Museum page says "the stories inside could belong to anyone, in any part of the world". Yes indeed. My own granny grew up in the East End of London, with 10 children and 3 adults in a two room slum. The toilet and washing facilities, shared with three other families, was on the other side of the lane.
ReplyDeleteI like places like this.
ReplyDeleteI always loved visiting the Rrocks area of Sydney and in fact on one visit, that where I took my family for a farewell meal.
