Historical information

The photograph can be dated to after 1911, as the Surface Hill hotel (between Morgan and Ching stores) appears to have already been demolished (this happened in 1911).

Physical description

Black and white copy of original photograph, which shows east and west sides of Sussex Street, from Morgan's store to Gillespie Street. On the left of the photo (east side of street), there is a glimpse of Patrick O'Sullivan's saddlery shop, then G. G. Bennett's butcher's shop, Nicol's bakery, Wise's drapery, and further along the street the verandah of Preston's store can be seen. On the west side, there is a glimpse of J. H. Morgan's grocery store, Ching's produce store, and Annie Brown's newsagency (Annie Brown nee Annie Nicholls).
Two horse-drawn vehicles are in the street. There is a telegraph pole near Morgan's shop.
