Robert Hardy was known to have managed some convict gangs involved in the cutting.
=========
This hand cut accessway through the peak of the ridge to the west of Sydney was a major engineering feat of its day. Up until the time the cut was completed, The Rocks was a divided community, separated by a rugged and steep rocky outcrop which forms the ridge of the peninsular to the west of Sydney Cove. Building had taken place on either side of the ridge, but people wishing to travel from one side to the other had to either go the long way around Dawes Point or climb a series of rickety stairs.
In 1816, Governor Macquarie floated the idea of cutting a passage through the rock face to join the east and west sides of The Rocks community. As complaints were being voiced both in England and Sydney that Macquarie was wasting precious funds on unnecessary public utilities, Macquarie attempted to raise finance from local business. The only person who showed any interest in the project was fellow Scotsman, James Campbell, the colony’s most successful merchant who operated his business from premises in The Rocks.
The program languished until 1843 when convict chain gangs began their assault on the rock face with whatever hand tool could be found. It was completed in 1864. The rubble from the cut was used to construct many of The Rocks’ stone buildings of the era and in the reclamation and construction of the walls of Circular Quay. The Argyle Cut was widened to its present size around the turn of the 20th century. The rubble from the widening was used as landfill around the Darling Harbour foreshore.

St Hilda's Church, South Shields, Co Durham

It was then rebuilt. 1941 extensive damage was caused by bombing. 1998 awarded a Heritage Grant. Have a rest in the friendly cafe. Take in the atmosphere of the magnificent Church. Look for the 200 year old wooden carved model boat hanging above you and the beautiful stain glass windows. Out of the Church, the Market is in front of you, go and find yourself a bargain
