1971: Art on Construction Hoardings

In recent times, hoardings on city streets at construction sites feature historical images of central Sydney which have been provided by Sydney City Council. It has given pedestrians something of interest to look at as they walk past, learning about the city's past and how it looked at different points in history.

Fifty years ago, it was not photos that were on hoardings, but rather artworks as this article below shows.
