EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the vibrant energy of Kings Cross in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia during the 1930s. The image, taken in 1937, showcases the Mayfair Hotel and Hampton Court, two iconic buildings that once stood proudly on Elizabeth Place. The Mayfair Hotel, with its Art Deco design and elegant facade, is situated on the left side of the image. Its tall, curved windows and ornate detailing are a testament to the grandeur of the era. Across the street, the Hampton Court Hotel, with its distinctive red brick exterior and large sign, can be seen. The two buildings, separated by a bustling street, are a striking contrast, yet complement each other beautifully. Elizabeth Place, a narrow alleyway that runs between the two buildings, is filled with activity. A Pekin Cafe and Chinese Restaurant can be seen on the left, with its red awning and tables set up outside. The hustle and bustle of the street is evident, with trams and buses passing by on Bayswater Road. The image also captures the charm of the era with the old-fashioned tram and the elegant design of the buses. The photograph provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Kings Cross was a bustling hub of activity, where people came to socialize, dine, and be entertained. The Mayfair Hotel and Hampton Court, with their distinctive designs and rich history, continue to be cherished landmarks in Sydney's vibrant Kings Cross precinct.
