Susannah Place

Susannah Place is a historic site located in the heart of Sydney's The Rocks district. It was originally a grocery store and workers' cottages, but has since been transformed into a museum. This heritage-listed site offers a unique glimpse into the city's past, showcasing the evolution of Western occupation over 160 years, particularly the urban working-class community.

Heritage Recognition of Susannah Place

On 10 December 1999, Susannah Place was officially added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register. This recognition underscores the site's historical significance and its value to the state's cultural heritage. Visitors to the museum can appreciate the importance of preserving such sites and the stories they tell about our past.

Recreation of the Corner Shop

One of the highlights of the Susannah Place museum is the recreation of the corner shop as it would have appeared in the 1910-1920s. This allows visitors to step back in time and experience a slice of Sydney's history firsthand. The shop is filled with period-appropriate items, providing a tangible connection to the past.
