Changes of 50 years


How many changes have occurred in Manly since this photo looking over Sydney Road was taken in 1958! The boardwalk enclosing Manly Cove pool is the most lamented loss, smashed by storms in 1974. From the middle of the shot, the Hotel Manly has gone, and the bus terminus nearby. The Fun Pier carousel and amusements have gone. Further over, the Olympic Baths have gone, and at Little Manly, the Gasworks and Gasometer. The Coles site on the Corso has undergone more than one change over the period. And you may be able to spot numerous other changes.
