HISTORICAL TIMELINE The following tables contains a chronology of significant events in the history of the site and the subject building as summarised from Sections 3.2 and 3.3 and building/development application information drawn from the City of Sydney Planning Cards. The development of the site can generally be separated into four phases of development, as follows: 1. New Belmore Market 1893 - 1913 2. Wirths Hippodrome 1914 – 1926 3. Capitol Theatre 1927 – 1991 4.

Phase 1: New Belmore Markets 1893 Second Belmore Markets (Capitol site) open. Used for theatrical and circus performances on Saturday nights. 1910 Council decides that the Tivoli and Capitol (two theatres) would be erected on the sites of the old and new Belmore Markets. 1912 Wirth Bros takes a 10-week lease on the new Belmore Theatre for a ‘circus and hippodrome’. The council claimed the auditorium could be used as hippodrome, circus, theatre, opera house, concert hall, vaudeville entertainment hall or for photo plays (early silent motion pictures). Phase 2: Wirths Hippodrome 1914-1915 Belmore Markets dismantled and re-erected as the Hippodrome – home of Wirths Circus in Australia. The detail of the market walls was erected 10 metres higher. 1916 On April 3, Wirths Circus and Hippodrome opens – the largest theatre in Australia.

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).
