What was Sydney like in the early 1940s? A street directory can give you a heap of information. What suburbs existed, what didn't? What hospitals, and real estate agents were around at the time?
This 10th edition of Gregory's Sydney Street Directory, is described as "the most complete and up-to-date and the clearest work of reference of its kind yet available to the public of the metropolitan district", and includes 96 maps covering the 15,000 odd streets in Sydney and its suburbs.
Apart from the maps, it includes indexes to wharves and lessees; yacht clubs; localities and municipalities; headlands, bays, and reserves; hospitals; and streets as well as a directory of real estate agents.
This CD contains high quality scanned images of the original book, and has been bookmarked for easy navigation. Pages can be searched, browsed, enlarged and printed out if required.

Look back into the past
Absolutely brilliant! Scans of the 1941 Gregory’s street directory are high quality and just like looking at the paper version. This helped me better contextualise the areas that my parents and grandparents moved around in.
