Waterway to the west of the city once surrounded by wharves, goods yards, woolstores and factories which contributed enormously to the city's economic wealth. The former rail lines and goods yards were transformed from commercial port to a recreational and pedestrian precinct in the 1980s.

Glebe Island abattoir

Slaughterhouse on Glebe Island from the 1830s until 1915. The abattoir attracted related smelly industries and contributed to the noxious pollution of the bay, but provided fresh meat for Sydney.

Pyrmont

Peninsular inner-west suburb between Darling Harbour and Johnston's Bay. Quarried for its sandstone, it later became a heavily industrialised working-class enclave, then gentrified as industry declined.
