“In the last ten years North Sydney has developed rapidly as a commercial centre. Daily, bulldozers rip at the rock and workmen warm themselves by demolishers’ fires. The old is going to make way for the new. This book is a visitors’ guide to places of interest in the area. In time it may serve as a nostalgic comment on what has been lost, for some of the buildings mentioned are associated with names in history books; others document a broader social history.”
