Scanned from the book A Pictorial Record of CITY LIFE in Australia by Stuart Bremer, Bullion Books (1983).Sydney section.(I combined Adelaide in the Perth Part 1 thread, as the pickings for Adelaide were sparse, and captions proved inaccurate).Sydney:Parramatta Rd 1920: orig. sourceI mentioned earlier that this book has many images - about 3 dozen - from David Jones store chain. Not sure is the author was connected, or they were maybe underwriting the book, but they are good pictures.
