03 THE STORY

About this print

Deflated basketballs and scattered plastic debris cover the ground outside a vine-wrapped wooden outbuilding at the rear of the Terminus Hotel. A yellow plastic funnel lies among them. The vine has worked across the timber walls of the outbuilding. The photograph was made during the years the pub stood closed.

Sydney pubs of this era operated as accommodation as well as bars, and the yards and outbuildings at the rear carried the working traffic of the pub. The debris in this photograph was not staged; it gathered at the back of the building across the years after the pub closed in 1983. By 2016, the year Susan and Isaac Wakil sold the building on, the yard had been left to itself for at least 33 years. The 2018 restoration cleared the site of incidental objects. The ground in this photograph no longer holds these things.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

A dense patch of overgrowth tucked behind the rear wall of the Terminus Hotel, where vines scale brickwork and broad leaves crowd the path.

The series

Terminus Hotel

2016 · 44 photographs

The corner of Harris and John Streets, Pyrmont, has held a licensed pub almost continuously since 1841, under four names. Sydney's Harris Street electric tram opened in 1898 and terminated at the front door. The owners added a two-storey wing and renamed the pub Terminus around 1900.
