Here is another slightly earlier view from the opposite direction showing George Street near Market Street - from Powerhouse Museum:

Thanks for that good old pic

beachcomber australia re the Trove article on Beale & Co. Another news scoop - from where else but - The Braidwood Dispatch & Mining Journal !!

Andy Brill Yes - a bit of a giggle - same issue page 2 reports that Jack the Ripper is in Melbourne - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/99869024 !!

Son of W. J. and E. J. Beale, of Sturminster Newton, Dorset; husband of N. G. Beale, Butts Lawn, Brockenhurst, Hants.

Stanley was a grocer's assistant in 1911, his father was a blacksmith. Tragically, he married Nellie Tuck between Mar-June 1916 and was killed a month later.

Nellie Georgina remarried in 1922 and died in 1953. She had been a scullery maid and a cook. I hope she found some happiness in her second marriage after such a tragic end to her first one.

Harry's name on the war memorial of his local church - a lovely wooden memorial i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp178/Diedeldum/S-Memorials/S...
