Harris Street, Ultimo, 1948. A view South East along Harris Street, from close to the corner of Ultimo Road (looking towards Broadway). This shows the Bon Marche Ltd drapers and house furnishers store (now UTS), and the Dairy Farmer’s Milk Co-operative (where the ABC is now). Parked cars, tramlines and an arc lamp can be seen. Image source Lately we’ve been mining photos of Harris Street, in order to reimagine how this main street  could function, in a non-traffic-focussed manner. Sounds mad? It is! This part of the road still looks fairly harsh, in ‘48.
