What really stands out is the enormous amount of growth Sydney must have experienced in the first 100 years of colonisation. The whole of Sydney must have been one long continuous construction zone. Imagine the logistics of hauling sandstone blocks from quarries, timber, roofing materials etc. The labour required to build houses, churches, shops, schools, roads, bridges and everything else to make a settlement work. Continual noise, dust and disruption. Just amazing what people achieved in the first 100 years.
Yes. Or alternatively, Sydney wasn't "founded", by the British, it was found? Read the description of Sydney from the 1818 journals of the Freycinet visit to Sydney. The description was not of a struggling penal colony, but of a substantial and impressive city. Is our history a lie? Was there a reset in the 19th Century and history rewritten? I don't know, but there is enough to suggest that might be a real possibility.
@@gregoryjohn4no, you’re a victim to those that want to erase history and get us to question everything for the purpose of destabilising our society. Look up Anatoly Fomenko, and do a deep dive into Soviet and Russian Federation Hybrid Warfare, Active Measures and the four stages of demoralisation as discussed by Yuri Bezmenov. This may equip you with a sense of skepticism regarding ‘alternative history’ theories but may also make you extremely paranoid and realise how far demoralisation has actually eroded western civilisation already.
Sydney today would be a much more charming place if all this wonderful architecture was preserved. I don't think architects nowadays know how to design classical buildings of all types instead today we have concrete and steel ugliness and Meriton west bank settlements.
Australians as they evolved from colonialism lost value aesthetics. I gave up being angry about it when I realised if people don’t value it why have it? A reflection of who we are, as the colonial era was who we were.
Have you seen that recent image of the land owner is western Sydney refusing to sell and surrounding his acreage a development goes up with all these pittifull, small, closely built houses with grey and white roofs, all the while this guy has a massive yard and everyone is commenting how jealous everyone would be of his massive yard and how annoying it would be to have neighbours... That development took 5 years.
Thanks for posting. Glebe is still a special place with many grand and historic houses that have escaped the wrecking ball, often thanks to the Glebe Society.
Thanks for making this and publishing it; it's excellent. It interests me how Sydney became such a 'green' city ... so many older cities around the world filled every square inch with buildings long before anyone thought a park might be a nice idea. Cities like London and Paris are the exceptions because they were the 'seat of empire' ... showing off their wealth. Sydney was also lucky that fear of the French kept a lot of the harbour foreshore reserved for the military ... and it was then later available for public access rather than sold off.
A few things stood out, my ancestors were born, lived, worked and walked those streets, there sure was a lot of churches for all those sinners, sad to see those beautiful homes destroyed for ugly, polluting industrialisation and were did all those folks buried where Central Station is today went, where they exhumed, who where they, is there a record...glad the pictures still survive, because they are all we have left of our past

It's so sad to see Sydney in its current state with the most hideous modern buildings and skyscrapers. Completely decimates the charming old stone buildings. Sydney would have looked so much nicer if the architecture was persevered. And why can't we build these quaint stone buildings today instead of the modern ones. Surely we have the technology to recreate the stone carving details etc.

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.
As a previous resident of Glebe in the 1980s I found this fascinating, as I have a love of history and Sydney. Well done! Wouldn't it be interesting to climb the Town Hall tower like Francis Robinson did and do a 360% today, comparing like for like. Would make for a fascinating series.
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.
Wonderful compilation. The wide views of Glebe show a skyline bristling with Norfolk Island pines! it seems that every mansion had to have at least one, if not several. Glebe would certainly have a different character if so many NI pines were present today.
Great Eora people much respect, now how about paying respect to the thousands of convicts, dragged kicking and screaming in the hulls of death ships, away from their families, who actually built all this magnificent architecture?
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.
Fascinating. Thank you for that. It’s interesting to know as much as possible about Sydney the place I was born and have always lived in. What happened all the decades and centuries before I was born.
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.
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.
I enjoyed this video very much. Just a small tip for the person editing the voiceover. I could be wrong, but I suspect de-ess has been applied in post. If it has, it just needs to be pulled back a little bit. Otherwise a good job.
I think this may due to the long exposure times required for the plates to register an image.Moving things like horses & people would not have shown up.Correct me if I’m wrong.
@Michelle-kw2sp might it have something to do with orphan trains, empty European cities, a reset of sorts?... i watched briefly something on the " mud floods " very strange history, or should i say our altered history. Some are now suggesting 1000 yrs have been added to our calendar , have you heard of this ?
I have a painting of Sydney circa 1880 (guess) aerial view north of harbour back looking south. I stare at it often trying to work it all out. Wonderful picture. Don’t know how the height was gained for the view.
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.
I'm from Perth but i doubt there'd be any of these buildings still standing there, with the price of real estate and high density developments the norm there....😮
There is always one , and your it . Congratulations , make sure you keep up this attitude , it will serve you well . When are you bringing something to the table ? Then we can all scrutinize your efforts . WHAT ? Your not bringing anything ? What a surprise 🤡
What's with the Lord's Prayer at the beginning of the video? Why don't we acknowledge our war heroes and those who worked hard to build Glebe in the first place?
That's a statist prayer, and the state is run by the left. The left think that Aborigines are the underdog, and that west is the world's oppressive hegemon. So you've got to pay homage to the superior virtue of the oppressed 🙂
A Non-Woke addendum. The Glebe Society acknowledges and respects the achievement of Captain James Cook RN who discovered this barbarous continent and brought civilisation to it 😂 😂
i would like to acknowledge and pay my respects to the white people who brought civilization, education, architecture, the wheel, modern farming and education to australia, it is upon this wealth that the aboriginals can continue to exist
Take away all the things brought to Australia from other continents and see just how quickly our society reverts back to what you refer to as "primitive".
Hahaha riiiiiight, have read anything about history? Europeans were some of the most barbaric people in history. Atleast Indigenous only fought between themselves and not travel the world raping and killing others for resources.
While there were a few nice bits, that panorama depicts a mostly squalid, and extremely ugly and unexciting city. We are fortunate that the city has changed as much as it has. I live in a tower, just 10 minutes walk from the Sydney Town Hall, so this is my neighborhood. I love walking these streets now, but if it looked like the city of that panorama, I would have migrated. Probably to a south European city, maybe Mexico City, Paris, Beunos Aires. So many cities that were already architecturally exciting back then, but Sydney, I could not have loved if it looked like that.
@@howlinsg1968 as far as we know and more than likely "tartarians".... ancient maps have them placed over vast areas, their reach and majestic architecture was everywhere..!!!

if your going to "act" like you know "stuff"😂...get your facts straight..just because there's no indoctrination material proves my point...and "we" are the awake, critical thinkers, you should try it🤘😎
Why we paying respect to the Gadigal people? They were at constant war with the aboriginals on the other side of the harbour who spoke another language and of whom in fact could have had their land stolen by the gadigal people but in any case the land was stolen from the Australian Pygmy by the Gadigal and others. Also, the people who migrated here in those days were settlers NOT migrants because Australia was a British colony. I find this woke stuff quite offensive and its both anti intellectual and disinformation.
My parents are migrants from asia. If it wasn’t for British settlers Australia would still be a third world country or have been overrun by another foreign power. We must correctly acknowledge the contribution by the europeans and all who arrived afterwards.
Objectively, it isn't your country. Native title laws have proven that. Why do you not acknowledge your homelands, the ancestral lands your bloodline have evolved from, fought for, the reason you look the way you do, where is the pride for your soil?
Fantastic.
