The Rocks, Gloucester Street, mural
This mural has been painted on the wall of the Cahill Expressway, where it crosses Gloucester Street, at The Rocks. A description has been painted on the mural: Gloucester Street looking towards the city from this point, 1901. Gloucester Street had been created in 1810. It formalised a track that skirted around houses built on the rocky ridge between here and Cumberland Street. The Cahill Expressway cut Gloucester Street in half in 1956-57.
Looking forward to seeing it when I'm over next week Jim ..

ReplyDeleteThat is so good it appears you could just keep walking and step back in time.

Nice black and white mural, it certainly takes us back to the old days...
ReplyDeleteIt pulls you into the image, great depth painting.
ReplyDeleteIf it is a bit dark you are glad that there are poles in the street otherwise you could turn into the wall. Great one.
ReplyDelete...nice monochrome!
ReplyDeleteI like it!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
I love murals like this, taking us back in time!
ReplyDeleteFine looking mural, especially in b&w as it gives it a sense of an earlier time. Looks almost like one could walk right into it.
ReplyDeletewonderful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work. Lovely style.
ReplyDeleteAnd it looks like that road in foreground goes right into the picture, taking the viewer into the past.
Great find, Jim. :)
