This photograph was taken looking south down George Street from northwest corner of the intersection with Liverpool Street. To the right of the image is the Sir John Young Hotel. Opposite is where the Palace Emporium once stood and World Square stands today. This area used to be known as 'Brickfield Hill' which got its name because it was south of Liverpool St where many of the bricks used to build early Sydney were excavated.

But by 1899, the brick fields were already a distant memory as site was hindering the expansion of metropolitan #Sydney and in 1841 they closed the works. However the name continued to be used well into the twentieth century.

In it you can see the tram pylons and wires in the image but no trams. The reason for this could be due to the photo being taken just before the trams started operating in the area in 1899. #POTD #MAASCollection #TyrrellCollection #SirJohnYoungHotel #BrickfieldHill
