Hi Lawrie, welcome to the site. The date is around 1963 just before being demolished and replaced by the Barlow Estate. These houses were typical in that they were built between 1820 and 1850.
Hope this helps Kiwi.

Thanks ,I thought that it was more recent than pre WW1.( the car gave it away).

My mother was living in Darwin Buildings that might be shown in the photo pre WW1.
I visited Barlow Street earlier this year and saw the replacement block.
Hard to find any properties connected with the family after all this time and WW2.

Noted that the Victory was closed.

Thanks for your reply..

Smashing picture, hoping someone can tell us who the little boy is. Picture states, outside Darwin Buildings 1967/68. I’m almost certain this is Barlow Street looking towards Darwin Street. Darwin Buildings would be to the left with Davies Dairy across the road on the corner of Darwin Place. Just to add my mum lived in Darwin Street,1930s, MYM.

It's Crail Row with Darwin Buildings on the right and the shop on the corner with Hemp Row in the background.

Beg to differ on this, Barlow Street.
