Parbury Lane, Millers Point.

Dating from the early 1800s.

The cobblestones were laid in 1873.

 

Part of Sydney's historic Millers Point precinct.

Lower Fort Street. Millers Point.

Near Dawes Point, Sydney.

 

This laneway was named after Charles Parbury, a merchant who operated a business at Walsh Bay in the mid 1800s.

 

Parbury's son Frederick was co-owner of the merchant business 'Lamb & Parbury' which traded in nearby Fort Street.

 

The laneway was home to Bubb's Victory Foundry, which was Sydney's first iron foundry and created the first iron letterboxes in Australia.
