Your Correct, water is being taken on in this image and not coal! You can see in enlargement water running from the end of the metal feed pipe where it meets the canvas hose, on close inspection you can see the canvas hose entering the water tank on the tender just below the circular tank cover which is standing up against the upright of the coal bunker and the fireman is watching closely the water level as I think this tank is almost full

The folks in that house on the right have built an extension since 1961 (Google Streetview). The railway layout was a little different in 1907 (Os 25" map), the tank was originally to the right, not between the tracks, and there was a turntable to the right where that engine shed is in 1961.

This looks great on black Carol.

Nice shot

I was trying to figure out why the worker had to put such effort into lifting the hose but of course he is not lifting the hose he is opening the valve to allow the water to flow into the tank. Its a nice shot of the operation though the hose connection below the tower is a lot lower than I remember them.

These are wonderful. So pleased the NLI are posting these. Keep 'em coming!

Your wish is our command, Damien! ;)

Excellent

Wonderful picture of daily life in the 1930s.

I remember Denny sausages when I was young - they were nice. Are they still sold under the Denny brandname? Stuart.

More beauty than you can shake a stick at!! ;)

What was your wish for Camogie team before? Miss Hookeys hockey club? Did you get your wish at long last? Lovely shot of very elegant ladies. The two second and third from right at the back are sisters or I'm a monkeys uncle!

excellent picture! I like the pose of the woman holding her chin.

Débora National Library of Ireland on The Commons I wonder if she (the chin-holding woman in the front row) was channeling Rodin's The Thinker (1902)? It is really uncomfortable to sit with your elbow on the opposite thigh, like the original - try it!

beachcomber australia indeed :)
