From the pioneer days of slab huts, through to the building of the Bridge, this book details often forgotten and overlooked aspects of the city's history. Photos include: the Francis Greenway designed markets that once graced the site of the QVB; the Anthony Hordern department store and the fire that destroyed it; the construction of Martin Place and cars in the plaza; the township of Moruya and its significance to building the Harbour Bridge; workers heating rivets on the Bridge and the joining of the arches; and the tram bridge into North Sydney.
