Twenty four pigs being driven along Day Street, Sydney, by a truck, ca. 1929 / Sam Hood
Format: Glass photonegative
Notes: As odd as it may seem today, Sydney regularly had livestock in its streets. However, this example of a truck driving a herd of pigs along the Day Street waterfront towards Market Street is an anachronism, as the area for penning animals had become the City Council depot and the city livestock markets had moved 20km out of the city to Homebush.
