Iconic milk bar, Anna's Takeaway, was loved by locals since the early seventies. It's now no longer Anna's though - these days it's a pizza restaurant.

The fabulous Art on King! Part of the fabric of Newtown since 1979! Impossible for me to leave empty-handed whenever I visit. Love this shop!

A lovely old building and a Newtown landmark. My kids loved this place.

Cafes, haircuts and hats. What more could you want? I love this little row of shops on Australia Street.

Frocks, pizzas, coffee and candles!

I've always had a soft spot for this building. Not at all glamorous with its faded lace curtains and old tiles. It's no longer a butcher's shop but is now one of the coolest bars in Newtown. I love that the new owners didn't change the façade - they even left the pickle jars in the window.

A beautiful little building and one of my favourite shops. Love the curved balcony.

A beautiful old warehouse building. Now home of the Brewnut at Brewtown Cafe.

Probably one of the best people-watching spots in all of Newtown - right where King Street and Enmore Road meet.

Adorned with vases of roses and lion heads! I decided not to draw all the air-conditioners and signage on this one... didn't want to ruin all the fab Victorian fancy bits. I call this one The Cake.

Established on King Street in the early 80s, Clem's is a much-loved local institution. Buy the chicken and the t-shirt!

No longer a working flour mill - it's now Flourmill Studios. Fab office spaces with lots of the lovely old industrial details remaining.

This unusual building on King Street has always caught my eye. Not sure if there are windows upstairs or not. Can people see out? Is it one big box? I've never been too sure.

The halfway point of King Street. You can't miss this iconic Newtown landmark!

So many quirky details on this Newtown building.

The Enmore Theatre has seen everyone from The Wiggles to the Stones. A grand old building in the heart of Newtown.

This Spanish-style garage is now derelict. Here I've given it a coat of paint and planted some geraniums.

Part of the fabric of King Street for the past 30 years, but now this building is empty. The bookshop has moved to new premises down the southern end of King Street.

Sadly, Happy Chef is no longer. Badly damaged by fire in 2018, it's been reincarnated as a bar.

Tucked away amongst the terraces and cafes of Australia Street, this little brick and tiled building is one-of-a-kind.

I love the coloured glass and all the tile details on this building.

Once a local Hoyts, but hasn't been used as a cinema since the late 50s - only the façade has remained. This building really shines on King Street on a sunny day.

A famous Newtown landmark with a sordid past - everyone knows The Hub. Currently renovated inside, but still closed!

Most of the Newtown buildings that are in this gallery - all together in the one print!

In reality this building has holes in the brick work and is rusty and neglected. I thought it could do with a a bit of a makeover. I love the round brick detail.

I love this red brick building in the middle of Newtown with all of its arched windows. It features the iconic 'I Have a Dream' mural created in 1991 by artists Juilee Pryor and Andrew Aiken and is a much-loved Newtown landmark.

Looking north along King Street (minus the traffic). This could possibly be the most photographed view of Newtown.

Sadly another Covid casualty. This Newtown institution has recently closed.

Just a cute little house nestled in amongst the shops.

This business has been part of King Street for decades. I have only just recently noticed all the decorative urns on the roof.

Just a huge, old, Federation style house on a corner in Enmore.

My favourite Newtown café has recently closed its doors after 22 years. I pretty-much raised my kids on the their babycinos! Thanks for the memories, Lou Jack's.

The Marie-Louise Salon on Enmore Road was loved by locals. To get a feel for Marie-Louise in her glory days - go to the link below.

I decided to add the second storey to the Marie-Louise Salon illustration - 5 years later!

The Mulberry Street Vintage Store has now moved on. Currently empty.

Newtown loves its Firies - for keeping us safe - and entertained! Their ever-changing sign on the front of the building is becoming legendary.

Always nice to have a mooch around in the NGM on King Street.

No longer the local PO - it's been transformed into shops and apartments - but the beautiful old façade remains.

Smack bang in the middle of Newtown. Everything you could possibly need in one place... haircuts, yoga classes, Vietnamese holidays... But really I just love to draw buildings with lots of air-conditioners.

My boys have now moved on to High School - but this place, Newtown Public School, was the centre of their universe for seven years!

Built in the late 1800s, this red-roofed landmark was once Newtown Station. The entrance has been moved next door and this building is now a chicken shop!

Once the local Town Hall, now the Newtown Neighbourhood Centre. Look closely and you will see a little gnome keeping watch.

Possibly the most colourful building on Sydney's most colourful street! Newtown's One Stop Fruit Shop.

A great local business and a fabulous no-frills shopfront!

Possibly the sunniest little corner in Newtown! Featuring (with kind permission) a fabulous mural by Jeff McCann. Check out more of his work at the link below

Cute architectural details upstairs and delicious Turkish pizza downstairs! There are no other buildings like this one on Enmore Road.

Now used by Newtown High School of the Performing Arts, and a popular café on the ground floor - St George's Hall on King Street is one of the largest surviving Victorian halls in Sydney.

This 19th Century building has housed everything from an ice-skating rink and dance hall to a boxing arena. It was derelict for years but these days it stands proudly on King Street - restored to its former glory.

The old Towers Antiques building on King Street. So much character in one little shop.

Beautiful old Italianate terrace tucked away in the streets of Newtown.

The old William Dibble Bakery building. The bakers probably could not have imagined the dazzling graffiti on the parkside wall. Love this building.

I've been told that this was once Brennan's Department Store. Fondly referred to by some as The Wedge. A spectacular building - the local star of a lot of images of King Street.
