Can you…name this road?

NRS 20024 is a series of albums from the Department of Main Roads.

The series titled “Photographs of metropolitan, country roads ferries etc., and miscellaneous operations, New South Wales” consists of photographs showing the construction and maintenance of roads in New South Wales between 1926 and 1946.

While most of the photographs have been well titled and dated. There are a few that have no information about the location photographed.

Are there any landmarks in these photos that could help us …. name this road?

    The Flickr pages seem to be private, so I couldn’t open them.
