a postcard from Cambridge Street ...

So I haven't come across many postcards of Cambridge Street.  In fact, I think this is the first.  It is probably very familiar to any parent of a school age child as you get this in the pack from Glenmore Road Public School.  It is also the image on the fund raising tea towel - be sure to buy yours at the 130th school celebrations in September.

We did a bit on the history of GRPS a little while ago, click here for more on that.

Enjoy the school holidays!

Cambridge Street lane

The above photo shows the Cambridge Lane street sign at the top of Cambridge Street.  We can accurately date this street sign to between 45 to 64 years old, due to the 'City of Sydney' markings on top.  As mentioned previously, Paddington Council was absorbed into City of Sydney council in 1949 and then the northern part of Paddington was then split out of Sydney and into Woollahra Council in 1968.  You can find quite a few of these Sydney signs around but I haven't seen a Paddington Council version anywhere although we will keep looking.
