A now rare weatherboard, fibro and corrugated iron inter-war period worker's cottage, with suitably tumbledown picket fence. Beyond help, won't last. Apart from this, no more of these left in the street. End of an era. Leichhardt.

Rebuilt facade better than it ever looked in living memory. The old Georgiou's chocolate factory from the 1930's, which was closed and abandoned for years before the Pandemic, now an sprawling new apartment complex. The bottom photo was taken when the old factory was in the process of being demolished in April 2020. Only the modified facade now remains. Lewisham.

A row of four perfectly good 1920's-era "soldier settler" bungalows were demolished for this very ordinary block of low-rise apartments. Rushed job from wrecking ball to completion in little more than six months, expecting to cash in on population pressure that’s failed to materialise. Campsie.

Part of a new apartment complex next to a small inter-war period worker's cottage. Dozens of these kinds of houses, warehousing and light industry were demolished to make way for the development, which covers two entire urban blocks. Population pressure. Lewisham.

What's left of a former Edwardian-era bank building. After the bank branch closed, left derelict for more than a decade before being converted to an apartment complex (2016). Petersham.

Old & New. Three isolated late-19th century terrace houses jammed up hard against a brand new apartment development. How on earth did they survive, when so many others were lost? Speculators or hold-outs against rampant over development? Lewisham.

The Empire Buildings (1905) have seen better days. In the "Free Federation Style". Not heritage listed, so always under the threat of the wrecking ball. Petersham.

Ugly uniformity. Part of a newly built apartment complex on old industrial land overlooking Sydney's most polluted waterway, the Cooks River. Canterbury.
