The Lost Manly Collection honours the places, stories and coastal memories that shaped Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Each carefully restored artwork preserves a visual moment in Manly’s history for contemporary display.
Manly Harbour Pool, Promenade & Pavilion • c1937
A carefully and faithfully restored and reimagined photograph capturing Manly Harbour Pool during its golden era.
Featuring the famous promenade, pavilion and diving structures, this artwork preserves one of the Northern Beaches’ most treasured landmarks before its destruction in the 1974 Sygna storm.
Originally developed during the early creation of the Lost Manly Historic Restorations series, this edition blends historical preservation with gentle artistic restoration to bring the atmosphere of old Manly back to life.
Carefully restored from a vintage Manly photograph, the image preserves the warmth and nostalgic character of the original while enhancing clarity and detail for modern display. The photograph was later identified and dated to approximately 1937 through comparison with a family photograph of my father as a child at the Harbour Pool during the same period.
Built in 1931 and lost to the sea in 1974, the Harbour Pool remains one of Manly’s most beloved landmarks and enduring local memories.
A timeless piece of Manly’s story — ready for your wall.

Fabulous Northern Beaches Apparel
This is my 3rd time purchasing these T-shirts, they are great quality and very durable.. they hold their shape really well an I would definitely recommend them!! Lisa is great to deal with..
Its great. I bought it for my daughter who is an avid bushwalker. Its a surprise Christmas present so I won't know what she thinks of it until later. Anyway the colour is what I wanted, the logo perfect and the quality excellent.
Love my Tote bag! I get lots of comments and its a great conversation starter when I'm out and about, even where I live in Regional NSW. It's a piece of my heart from growing up in Manly. And its good quality and sturdy and very practical for shopping.
