Cambridge street in the 1890s

The State Government archives has a bunch of uncatalogued old photos that they put up on Flickr to let amateur historians decipher for them.  That was how I came across these two photos after some supersleuth had correctly identified the houses on the corner of Cambridge street and Glenmore road in the top right of this image (the flickr page is here). 

The photos show the chinese market gardens that originally occupied all of Rushcutters Bay.  These were cleared in the 1890s.  Also prominent in the photo is the quarry on Cascade street and the clock tower of Paddington Town Hall. 

The link to the government archives for the photos are here and here so you can download and zoom in to see Cambridge street a little better.
