The Rocks, George Street, mural

The Brown Bear Lane mural is painted on the side wall of a shop along George Street, at The Rocks. It depicts Brown Bear Lane in 1901, which was located close to this spot. The Rocks' very first pub, The Romping Horse, was located on the corner of the lane from 1789, later known as The Brown Bear (1836–1900). The lane became Little Essex Street but disappeared around 1913 when a row of shops was built between Essex Street and this location. The row was partly demolished in 1956 when the railway viaduct was built, connecting to nearby Circular Quay railway station.
