Concrete Slab and Arch Bridges 101 Masonry Bridges Heritage Study of Masonry Bridges in NSW 2005 1 Historical Overview of Bridge Types in NSW: Extract from the Study of Masonry Bridges in NSW HISTORICAL BACKGROUND TO MASONRY BRIDGES IN NSW 1.1 History of early bridges constructed in NSW Bridges constructed prior to the 1830s were relatively simple forms. The majority of these were timber structures, with the occasional use of stone piers. The first bridge constructed in NSW was built in 1788. The bridge was a simple timber bridge constructed over the Tank Stream, near what is today the intersection of George and Bridge Streets in the Central Business District of Sydney. Soon after it was washed away and needed to be replaced. The first "permanent" bridge in NSW was this bridge's successor. This was a masonry and timber arch bridge with a span of 24 feet erected in 1803 (Figure 1.1). However this was not a triumph of colonial bridge engineering, as it collapsed after only three years' service. It took a further five years for the bridge to be rebuilt in an improved form. The contractor who undertook this work received payment of 660 gallons of spirits, this being an alternative currency in the Colony at the time (Main Roads, 1950: 37) Figure 1.1 “View of Sydney from The Rocks, 1803”, by John Lancashire (Dixson Galleries, SLNSW).

  • There Are Also Hints of Personal Tensions in the Official Accounts
    "I take the opportunity of McCormick returning to England, being invalided i.e. being disagreeable to the captain and Wickham. He is no loss. Derbyshire is also discharged the service, from his own desire, not choosing his conduct, which has been bad about money matters, to be investigated". (''1 There are also hints of personal tensions in the official accounts. The crew list of the Beagle under Wickham's command suggests that two of the lieutenants, James Emery and Henry Eden, were senior to Stokes but without his survey experience. Both left the ship in the month when Stokes received the command. However, professional affinity and shared hardship also brought about close friendships. Charles Darwin, inclined to be snobbish and reserved when he first joined the BeaCqle, very soon told his family; "I like the officers much more than I did at first, especially Wickham and young King and stokes"(13) and commended them as "evidently . .. a very intelligent, active, determined set of young fellows". (I4) He even struck up firm friendships with the ship's artists, Augustus Earle and Conrad Martens, neither of whom would ever have entered his social circle in England. Coincidentally both men became major figures in the history of art in early Australia. Earle, en route from London to India in 1824, was stranded on Tristan da Cunha for eight months. Rescued by the Adrnival Cockbuvn he was put ashore at Hobart and, making the most of his accidental arrival in Australia, he moved to Sydney, painted the portraits of successive governors Brisbane and Darling and became the leading portrait and landscape painter of New South Wales until he departed to continue his wanderings in 1827.

  • 4 the Artist Travels: Augustus Earle At
    © Copyrighted Material 4 The Artist Travels: Augustus Earle at Sea Sarah Thomas Augustus Earle is considered to be the first independent, professionally-trained artist to have travelled to all five continents. Between his first association with London’s Royal Academy in 1806 and his premature death in 1838, the British artist spent most of his life abroad (Hackforth-Jones 1980, 1–2).1 Yet unlike the generations of artists before him whose Grand Tour itineraries led them across the Continent, Earle spent most of his life sketching and painting in the ‘New World’—the Americas, Asia, Australasia and beyond. At a time when Britain was consolidating its global reach, and a rising leisured class was becoming increasingly curious about the world beyond Europe, Earle exemplified a new type of peripatetic artist whose role was to visualize peoples and places that were largely unfamiliar at home. Given the fact that Earle spent a great deal of time enduring the harsh conditions and tedium of shipboard life, it is perhaps not so surprising to find that this was a subject to which he returned in his watercolour sketches on a number of occasions. What is perhaps more curious is the fact that this highly unusual subject—at least for an oil painting of the period—was the one he chose to work up into a pair of highly detailed canvases for exhibition at the Royal Academy in the year before he died. Earle’s two shipboard paintings, Life in the Ocean Representing the Usual Occupations of the Young Officers in the Steerage of a British Frigate at Sea (Plate 4), and Divine Service as it is Usually Performed on Board a British Frigate at Sea (Figure 4.1) (both c.1820–1837), are among the first British oils to represent life below deck, and they do so with an attention to everyday detail that is unparalleled.2 I shall argue here that they are as resolutely modern as they are unheroic, a far cry from both the exuberant history paintings and the Dutch- inspired genre scenes which continued to dominate British art into the 1830s.
