Summary

Robe Hotel prior to building of the sea-wall. Sand dunes extended right to the roadway. The sandy beach below the dunes disappeared when the seawall was built in 1874. The photograph shows the Robe Hotel on the corner and various other buildings leading up to the Customs House which was built in 1863 to cater for the Chinese passing through the port trying to avoid paying the Arrival Tax. The sand has all but covered the road in front of the buildings where a horse drawn carriage can be seen.
