March 1880 - "... The I.M.S.{sic] Bismarck was towed up to the Fitzroy Dock at Cockatoo Island yesterday by the steamer Commodore, where she will be docked this morning ..." Tuesday, 9/3/1880 See - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/238484524?searchTerm=b...
beachcomber australia said:
Wikipedia - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS_Bismarck " ... Eight men aboard Bismarck had died due to tropical diseases by early 1880, and so the Admiralität decided to recall the vessel. On 26 January 1880, the ship left Apia and after reaching Levuka, she was damaged in a severe storm, which forced her to go to Sydney for repairs. While she was being repaired, the Admiralität altered her original route and ordered her to proceed to the west coast of South America to support the ironclad Hansa, which was protecting German interests in the area during the War of the Pacific. ..."

What a stately edifice. I thought it was a country estate before I read your narrative!
Robin Parkes said:
Looks as though he knows he's been caught in the act by his actions :) That was a magnificient building. Torn down in the name of progress.

Nick Stewart It's a bit scruffier round the back. I've spent many an hour sitting on its draughty platforms between trains as a small child on my way to visit my grandparents.

Robin Parkes Aw, is the building gone? Or the whole railway station?
Nick Stewart said:
derangedlemur I have vague memories of Omagh station as a child. Mr.Beeching's axe got it though, along with countless others.
