Wentworth Street in The Rocks no longer exists. Named on the city map by the 1850s and running adjacent to Clyde Street, it ran south-west to Darling Harbour from near the current intersection of Argyle Place and Kent Street, Millers Point. Predominantly residential, it was part of a densely populated neighbourhood where even dilapidated houses were in great demand due to their proximity to work at the Darling Harbour wharves and goods yards. After the outbreak of bubonic plague in 1900, it was among the streets selected for cleansing operations and was subsequently resumed and demolished by the Sydney Harbour Trust in 1901.
