Glebe Island Bridge, 1870 - 1880
Scope and Contents
200 x 161 mm. A view looking north from the Glebe towards the wooden bridge which connects Glebe Island to Pyrmont, with some small factories by the water’s edge, and with grazing horses and cattle in the foreground. The bridge was built in 1857 to shorten road communications between Balmain and Pyrmont and was replaced in 1901. (Glebe Island is not in fact an island nor even part of the Glebe, but is a peninsula on the other side of Rozelle Bay from Glebe.)
