    [aside] I love that song, and often have it as an ear-worm, for no good reason.

    “A drinking fountain with a large gas lamp was installed on 19 November 1881 near the site of the old market cross on the High Street. It stood at the location of the old market house and was known locally as the Big Lamp. It became a meeting place, “Meet you at the Big Lamp”, and men gathered around it to discuss the news during World War One”

Itinerant shearer with his belongings standing beside a bicycle ca. 1900

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    During the early years of sheep breeding in Australia, shearing was carried out by shepherds, assigned servants, Ticket of Leave men, and free labourers using blade shears. As the sheep industry expanded, more shearers were required. Although the demand had increased, the conditions had not, and shearers had to contend with terrible working conditions, very long hours and low pay. In 1888, Australia became the first country in the world have a complete shearing, at Dunlop Station, finished using machines. By 1915, most large Australian sheep station shearing sheds had machines that were powered by steam engines. Later, internal combustion engines powered machines until rural power supplies became available. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheep_shearer

    This photograph was either taken by William Heron Lowden or William Channing Gibbs. There are four versions of this photo, taken by two photographers, on that day, in your collection. I'm fairly certain they were the two photographers. More, here: wooljersey.com/wiki/STEVENS_IN_THE_SADDLE._-_San_Francisc... .
