The (now) Sutton Garden can be seen on the right hand side of the photograph. There are 2 buildings still standing which can be used to identify the location. On the left, you can just see the balcony of the Temperance Hotel at 41 Albert Street, which is now a private residence. In the middle of the photo, you can just make out the spires of St Michael's Anglican Church which is about 300 m. to the east of the intersection.'
