Russell Street and Grand Hotel

This section of Russell Street is part of the 'Town Square' in Bathurst. The photo was taken looking towards William Street in 1928 and shows several motor vehicles parallel parked along the street, unlike today. To the left in King's Parade can be seen the Boer War Memorial along with the series of seats that had recently been installed by Bathurst City Council. The streetlights were lit by gas produced by Council's gasworks which was once located further down Russell Street and just under the railway underpass.
