Horse-drawn tram, Patrick Street, Cork

  Hi, Very interesting to see the 'knifeboard' arrangement for top deck passengers on the trams in both photographs. This arrangement was superceded by the 'Garden Seat' configuration where passengers face forward as in modern day buses etc. I think the change was gradual starting in the late 1870s early 1880s.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Leonard Bentley Thank you so much! Hadn't heard that term before, but will use it as a tag in future, or Garden Seat where applicable. This says that the term was first used in Punch on 15 May 1862...

  The rails seem to very wide apart compared with the later electric trams.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  blackpoolbeach Much wider! Do you remember this one of the woman dashing across the street at almost exactly the same spot on Patrick Street?

• heady school said:

  If only they could bring these street lamps back, to replace the current, building site inspired monstrosities.

  It isn't often you get a photo taken 100 years layer that is so close to the original. Excellent shot.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Swordscookie We are in total accord! When you see them side by side, they really work well...

• Robin Parkes said:

  I have a similar one taken this year. I was involved in waterproofing the gutters when it was being repaired after a big bomb.

  ccferrie Thanks for location! Re the brilliantly named De Pews, could this have been taken before 1901 census, given that Harry's only 26. Bridget is a widow and keeping a boarding house in 1901, so might this have been her husband's enterprise?? Just think 26 is young to have your name over the door but could, as ever, be completely wrong! P.S. John Ward is coming through from the other side on your Thomas Curran link!
