Fringed by Blackwattle and Rozelle Bays, Glebe was first settled in the late 1820s.
Modern Glebe has retained many of its grand Victorian homes, Federation houses and modest workers’ cottages.
These contribute to the unique character of this vibrant suburb.
As a peninsula community, Glebe has a village environment with which residents very strongly identify and visitors enjoy.
The Glebe Society aims to conserve Glebe's Victorian and Federation heritage while ensuring that progress is based on best outcomes for residents the environment.

Glebe Community Connections
Переглядів 162 роки тому
The Community display at the Glebe Society Community Festival in 2019 identified 71 community and service organisations that exist in Glebe to support the community. Many people expressed incredulity that Glebe and Forest Lodge were so well supported, and yet I am sure there are still others which didn’t make it into the list due to limited research time in identifying them all.

Glebe Community Event to remember Robyn Kemmis
The lie we were sold was that to become a ‘global city’ we were obliged to destroy the very things that made our city unique, interesting and charming. Rather than garnering respect selling our soul means the world treats this city as a prostitute. - a place to be used and abused for pleasure or profit but never for love or respect. Vale Sydney.
As a Sydneysider , Thankyou so much
Grew up in Sury Hills, we used to play cricket and touch football in Golbourn Street on week ends. It's not Glebe but part of Sydney history. The era was 1960.
Most interesting thankyou.
that god for the white europeans that conquered this land and made it the paradise it is, maybe we can get one day a year thanking them
Very good thanks ..I'm a lover of old buildings ..
So less than 80 years and Sydney is completely built out in every direction? All masonry which include buildings megalithic in scale like the Uni quad, The Garden Palace, Govt house and Fort Macquarie. There harbour foreshore already seems to be lined with brick walls so early on. Not to mention all the tunnels running under the city. All this achieved by horse and cart….hard to believe.
watch a video on here called old world order
It's staggering the building they achieved in just a few decades, the museum, churches, homes, government buildings, bridges, railways, they were a very different breed back then, tough, determined, energetic and big dreamers. Really impressive people when you look back and see their achievements. Thankyou for your efforts here in putting this clip together and posting it, it's good for the soul to get reminded of what our forebears were like, their brilliance, real go getters and doers
Regardless. I appreciate the photos
I have no idea how things work. But we done great to build some of those beautiful buildings in less than 100yrs. The industry we must have created, like we had no china to import from. Don't know how they done it but they done it. So we're told😮😅😢
Great memories, but I am wondering George st and Clarence st are parallel to each other. They don’t meet to create a corner.
Egyptian style synagogue?
The panorama of Sydney in 1873 allows modern computer imaging to reconstruct an accurate 3D picture. This could be used in adding veracity to any movie using the city at around this time.
I live in Philip St Glebe. Apart from the ice epidemic here, the squatters, the crime rate, the rubbish in the lanes, the shops closing Im really liking it.
The streets are empty in all those panorama photos, where are all the people that built all that in 85 years?
What about the corner of Harris Street and Pyrmont Bridge Rd in 1995s ? 😊
I grew up in Glebe from the late 50s..Lived at 248 Glebe Point road for 25 years. I am now 67. My mates & I use to play on the logs down near Jubilee Park on the Bay. I witnessed many a beautiful building demolished in the 70s for flats. Watched a beautiful big fig tree cut down on 254 Glebe Point Rd. I still love Glebe and remember the demo's to preserve its heritage and felt proud to be part of that heritage. Once a suburb of colourful characters and working class people. Us kids made Billy carts, ran through new flats underconstruction& lamented the loss of the old buildings. Vale Jack Mundey and I salute the Glebe society.
In those days on the foreshore well to do dwellings gradually disappeared and were replaced by industry whereas today its the opposite .
Thank you very much for putting that together. Great stuff!
I live in Glebe. Love it! I also wanted to see Stanwell in 1913.
Postscript: is the old house in glebe still there behind the laundromat?
I think the old house is still there. You can see it in Google Maps, on the corner of Glebe Point Road and Bridge Road. It's got a green roof with a gable facing each way, one to Glebe Point Rd where the camera was and one facing Bridge Road but the entire house is now surrounded by shops. Oh, if only I were rich.
Life sux in 2024
Saddest thing about Sydney today I think is that the Casino lobby seems to have worked extra hard to move all traffic and attention away from the Sydney Opera House to the new Casino by adopting the most destructive city planning measures.
8:13 For context, St Barnabas near Central was one of a few churches and church buildings that were destroyed by fire in the year following the Cronulla race riots and counter-attacks ( a riot against lebanese-muslim ethnic gang rape gangs targeting Australian girls- and violence that occurred at Cronulla beach from 1990-2005). A lot of Christian churches around Sydney spontaneously combusted following that riot.
His story
Beautiful. Every cottage had a family and memories., We don't forget you.
Awesome video. I love seeing old photos of Sydney. I prefer it back then to what it is now. Even though I wasn’t alive I still feel nostalgic seeing this. I’m 62 and even going back to the 1960s and 70s, Sydney was different and better. I loved those days. Maybe because I was young but it’s not all that. Sydney and Australia WAS better then.
Strange: you only see a person about every 10th or more like 20th photograph Where was everybody??
And not an Indigenous person, in sight. So much for the promises in the "Letters Patent"
born in Sydney. I have watched this over and over and over, paused and even printed some stills to take with me on my trips back into the big smoke when I get away from where I live in regional NSW. Absolutely fascinated and grateful you made the effort. Thank you.
Very good 👀👍❗️I love the aerial perspective ❗️
Amazing video and history. In the 80's I lived at the end of Glebe Point Rd in one of the last Boat sheds on the waterfront. I still remember the sound of Buoy Bells and Seagulls during the night.
Beautiful no Covid vaccinated 2020 freedom
Was it taken from a drone?
From the clock tower of the Town Hall, as explained in the first minute of the voiceover.
“On the corner of George and Clarence Street”….??? George and Clarence Streets both run parallel with each other.
Glad i found this, very interesting, so sorry to see so much finery gone.
I remember often walking past the shell of St Barnabas in The Glebe, and it is a total shame what they have replaced it with.
There should be a monument, either in Glebe and/or the Rocks, to Jack Mundey.
67 Glebe Point Road is now eight rooms as of this comment (13:49)
The 'Cow House' at the corner of Forsyth and Avon Streets, Glebe NSW 2037 (6:39)
Why is the 2nd oldest house in Sydney in disrepair? Is it in a bad neighborhood? Just curious why it wouldn't be preserved. Watching from the US. Great video. Thank you.
Sydney was once beautiful
We've got an old panorama photo of Sydney harbor. (8 individual photos roughly covering 100 degrees). From Late 19th early 20th century. It's about 6ft long. You can see the harbor full of dozens of tall ships. Its an amazing photograph.
Amazing photo’s but the chamber music is too much
Just incredible what they achieved so soon after settlement.
All built for a couple of people with a horse and carriage...
Stonemasons were amazing then.
This is obviously lesser sydney, greater sydney? Need a bigger lense m8
Such a huge city,where are all the people?
Born in Balmain in the early 60’s, left for the country in the early eighties . Was a great place to grow up.
