Pitt Street, Sydney

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pitt Street is a major street in the central business district of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The street is one way (Northbound Only) from George Street to Pitt Street Mall and (Southbound Only) from Circular Quay to Pitt Street Mall. It runs through the entire city centre from Circular Quay in the north to Redfern south, although a substantial stretch of it was removed when the Sydney Central railway station was built. It has many different shops, especially along the Pitt Street Mall, as well as various residential and office buildings.

Trams formerly ran northbound along Pitt St, forming a loop (running southbound down Castlereagh St) between Circular Quay and Central Station. The line closed on 28th September 1957, replaced by a bus service.
