Manly Wharf

Main

AuthorJohn MorcombeDateMarch 2021DescriptionFrom the 1850s to the 1920s, Manly Wharf was the gateway to the northern beaches – a status that was only broken by the construction of the Spit and Roseville bridges in 1924.
The man behind the construction of the first wharf at Manly was the founder of Manly – Henry Gilbert Smith – who applied to the state government in August 1855 for permission to build a wharf at Manly.
Since then it has been rebuilt on numerous occasions but continues to be a major transport hub and tourist attraction for the Northern Beaches.
