| Statement of Significance |
The northern side of Clyde Street (east of Hardy Street) backs onto the cliffs of North Bondi and was clearly once a quarry. The Waverley Municipal Library Local History Collection lists two quarry operators in Clyde Street. Beat Bros. were at lots 30-32 in 1937 and Loveridge and Hudson were at "the east end" in the 1950's. This section of cliff has clearly been quarried out in stages and since been concreted over, also in stages, marked by incised graffiti dates: 20.11.52, 1955, 1959, 1960, 15.6.62, 22.6.73 and 9.5.78. The quarry wall is thus an epigraphic monument of some curiosity value. This quarry may be the one shown in the Daily Mail of 30 October 1923, with the caption: "This house over a quarry at Bondi doesn't seem to be a safe place to live in. There are plenty of equally dangerous homes about". Picture reproduced in Mitchell Library Small Picture file shows horizontal quarrying very similar to the technique used at Clyde Street.
