The Glebe Hotel (1862). One of the very oldest pubs in the Inner West. Originally the Australian Youth Hotel (an odd name, but it referred to the "youth" of the then British colony at the time). You can still see the ghost sign right top storey. Always considered a rough house hotel, the joint reached its nadir in the late 1960's when only a brothel operated on the top floor. Reopened as a pub in the mid-1980's. Given a complete restoration and interior renovation (although the original front bar remains in place) in 2018-19 just before the Pandemic and the name changed to avoid any confusion with youth hostels. Heritage Listed. Glebe.

Princes Bridge Melbourne 1867.

For the first 10 years the only method of travel between the north and south banks of the Yarra was by row boat or privately owned put.

The Princes Bridge was opened in 1850 and was one of the largest bridges in the world, it's 150ft span second only to the center span of London Bridge. The arches in this photograph were temporary, erected especially for the visit of Prince Alfred in 1867.

The first St Paul's can been seen in the distance, along with spires of St. Enoch's (since demolished) Wesley Church.

It was replaced in 1888 by today's bridge.
