Arncliffe is a working class suburb in the inner south of Sydney, approx 10 kms (12 minutes by train) from central Sydney. It's never going to make a list of Sydney's most fashionable suburbs (though it was once - 150 years ago!) It's where I've lived for the past 22 years, and I love it, so I want to share some of its quirky bits, history, and, yes, beautiful parts, with whoever is interested.

Yes, Sally, you were so right...there is lots to interest me here, in your most recent posts. Many of them are familiar, including the 2 in Dowling St, as our street, Horsell Ave, runs off Dowling St opposite no 9. I spent a lot of time in no 5, as i knew the family who lived there, Mr and Mrs Hull.They had 2 daughters Lesley and Jean, who my mum knew very well.Lesley had 2 daughters, Pam and Jeanette...you may even know Pam, as she was very active in Federation. Oh , she was Pam Gregg but I think she later married. When Jeanette married "Danny" Daniels, they lived there for many years, but i know the place has been sold.
No.9 was owned by the Maxwell family, and was for many years an absolute tip of a place.
I've left a comment on Teluba, and will ask Mum if she can remember anything.
The photos are wonderful as always Sally. Just a note about the Dowling Street shots. The one you have labelled as 5 Dowling Street is in fact 1 Dowling Street (which has had a first floor extension and doesn't look like this anymore). I know this as I live in #5. #5 and #9 are next door to each other as #9 is on a double block.
Thanks Caba and Leah! Fixed it.
