The Rocks is where, in 1788, Australia's first European settlers-British convicts and their overseers-claimed the land and built their camp atop the sandstone cliffs.

The area has a colourful history where you can find some of the oldest surviving buildings in Sydney.

More about the area can be found here [link]

And about this particular building here [link]

Lovely gritty urban shot-perfect for B/W!

Black and white seems to suit it well - perhaps will be open the next time you visit...

I do hope so too, as I lived my first 7 years in a place similar to this in England and I would so like to see inside.

Preserving history is always good.

Great B&W, Eve.

Thank you Irena. I was told that at one time it was suggested that the area be bulldozed and replaced with modern buildings. How wicked that would have been as the tourists love this area.
