NRS-12462 | Darling Harbour resumption maps

Full description

This series comprises the maps of the Darling Harbour and Port Jackson resumptions that were created in response to the Darling Harbour Wharves Resumption Act 1900 (Act No.10, 1900).

The maps are two colour photo-lithographic copies of the Darling Harbour resumption plans, and are annotated in pencil. The set consists of a cover sheet and twenty five sheets of maps which are paper mounted on linen. Some sheets are stamped on verso with "Department of Public Works".

The partial sequence of maps arranged by the alphabetical letters display a detailed street view of Darling Harbour. The geographical area is bounded by streets and the Harbour and within this area the property blocks are outlined in red. The red outlines indicate the names of the owners and details of the lessees, lessors, mortgagees, mortgagors etc. Also included is the street number and the size of the block. 

NRS 12462 is only a partial set. NRS 19348 is the complete set. Maps are annotated differently but are otherwise the same.
