Just stumbled across a link to a cool website. The National Library has been putting a lot of archived photos online. They seem to come from a lot of different sources, but there are lots of great old photo’s of Newtown in there.
The only picture of our street is from 1968 of: “the Alleged accident at Gully Grate”. The houses you can see are actually on Wilson Street, but the Gully Grate is ours!!
If you search on “Newtown” though you get a lot more results. Newtown has always embraced cutting edge fashions:
Fascinating Stuff. There’s even photos of Dulwich Hill in there. Have fun!
