Kelly, Max "Faces of the Street - William Street Sydney 1916", Doak Press, 1982, Paddington, NSW, Australia All the photographs of people and places in Kelly's book were taken between 10th and 19th June, 1916. The location is William Street and its surrounding lanes. Looking East up William Street, c. 1890. The street was 41 feet wide. A Henry King photograph sourced from the Tyrrell Collection at the Powerhouse Museum. Acknowledgements After thanking friends who helped in the preparation of the book, Kelly went on: I am particularly indebted to the staff of the City of Sydney Library for much valuable assistance and for permission to reproduce the photographs which form an indispensable part of this book. I am pleased to note that the "Demolition Books" held by th Council of the City of Sydney, initially in poor repair, have now been resuscitated. Thus is preserved a fascinating collection of documentary material pertaining to Sydney's past."
