Fowlers Lane I

Fowlers Lane II

On the map that I've used for this project, this street is called Clubhouse Lane, running off North Terrace and joining Fowlers Lane to make an L-shape. However, there is no sign calling this street Clubhouse Lane and no other maps label it as such. More importantly, there is a Clubhouse Lane running off Hindley Street that does have a sign and is labelled in many other maps that I have since consulted. From this information, I am safely assuming that the whole L-shape is named Fowlers Lane.

Fowlers Lane was obviously named after D & J Fowler and the business that they held here.

Fisher Place

I spent a lot of time in this deep, damp and dim side street running off Gawler Place. All of these walls are the backs of several buildings that face either Rundle Mall or North Terrace. A lot of doorways and windows have been bricked up, so I'm sure this street was used much more in the past. Lots of loading bays and bins.

Stephens Place I

I once read that Adelaide is regarded as having some of the most ugly buildings in Australia. I think that Adelaide's buildings can be quite interesting - it just depends on how you look at them.

Stephens Place III

That's the Myer Centre on the right and centre. I think this photo gives a sense of the closed-in feeling you get when in some of the side streets in the CBD. Not much sunlight gets in for most of the day either.

Gawler Place I (North Terrace - Rundle Mall)

Gawler Place would have to be one of the biggest side streets in Adelaide. It crosses over several main streets for five blocks. I've decided to divide Gawler Place into these five blocks, as each part is, of course, different.. So, you'll see more of Gawler Place sometime in the future.

Charles Street

I can remember marvelling at the overhead lights in Charles Street during rare trips to Adelaide when I was younger. It always seemed so futuristic to me. Lots of echo, too. One of the building entrances here leads to the multi-level carpark we would use, so Charles Street was one of the first places I'd set foot in when visiting Adelaide.

Austin Street I

Austin Street II

Austin Street is L-shaped. One part runs off Pultney Street (seen in the background here), the other runs off North Terrace.

Austin Street III

This is the part of Ausint Street that runs off North Terrace. Not sure what construction is being done here but it's been going on for quite some time now. Nothing in the city remains the same - there's always something being built, torn down or renovated. Even the newest places are getting older.

Porters Lane

Tavistock Lane I

Tavistock Lane off Frome Road. 'Gerard and Goodman's' must have gone out of business a long time ago. So many of these alleyways hint at the businesses of the past, with the ghosts of faded paint telling of what once was.The other side of this building faces Synagogue Place. It appears to be used as a student art gallery these days.

These places seem to hold the trash of the city.
