This photo shows some convict-carved sandstone steps leading up to the old wooden door of house number 64.
Located in the heart of The Rocks, Susannah Place is a rare surviving example of a simple working-class terrace.
Built in 1844, by Irish immigrants and continuously occupied until 1990 this typically English terrace was home to over 100 different families. The four adjoining houses have survived largely unchanged.
This site is now operated by the National Trust.
