The many transformations of 262 Liverpool Street, lying at the corner of Forbes Street in Darlinghurst, reflect the long and layered history of Sydney. Now named Yirranma Place, it's a site that has been constantly recreated.
Historian Alana Piper takes episodes from the history of Yirranma Place and its surrounds to provide a window into Sydney's past, particularly the city's experiences of power and hardship. Bringing together local and social history, this visually rich exploration of a corner in Darlinghurst combines deep research with revealing stories.
