Early 20th Century Street Scenes

Hamburg Place (sometimes written as Hamburgh) later renamed Wilson Avenue;
View is looking SE across Elizabeth St intersection on the left and Lang St intersection on the right; church is German Presbyterian Church at the SW corner of Hamburg Place and Ann St.

A number of  other Down Neck street names also had German origins but were renamed during WW1 e.g. Berlin Street became Rome Street, Frederick Street became Somme Street, Frankfort Street became Paris Street, and Dresden Street was between Berlin St and Frankfort St where Rt 1/9 is now.
