The oldest known photo of The Corso in Manly, the date of the old photo, can be narrowed down to some time between March 1860 and June 1863.

On the Steyne Hotel sign is the name of the licensee, Russell Chalk, who took over in March 1860. The hotel burned to the ground on June 22, 1863, leaving a three-year time frame during which the photo was taken.
