Motorist squashed between two early electric trams Brisbane 1935

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    The earliest electric tramcars were converted from the older horse-drawn cars and also some new electric cars were locally built. In the twenty-five years of the Brisbane Tramways Company's control of the fleet was increased from 20 to 181 tramcars, most of these being built in Brisbane with imported electrical equipment. The cars were of various sizes and types ranging from the combination car with a seating capacity of 34 persons, through the 10 bench and 12 bench cars seating 50 to 60 persons respectively, to the center aisle car seating 56 persons but with a capacity to carry 90 persons including standees. When the Trust took over in 1923 there were about 30 of these center aisle cars or Dreadnoughts, as they were popularly called. They were the first cars to have the conductor operating entirely inside the car instead of from the running board. Their disadvantage was that the entrances and exit were at the ends only, causing them to be slow in loading and unloading. However, since more cars were urgently needed and no other designs in detail were available at the time, the Trust made immediate arrangements for the construction of a further 26 of these cars, mostly by private Brisbane firms.

    No-one named Jenkings in the 1901 census in Galway. Here is a possible Jenkins family

    Yes, looking at the OSI, Ballybaun is a townland at the Northern boundary of Clonbrock demesne.

    According to the Wonderful Wizard of Wikipedia,
    " ... In the 19th century pillboxes were worn by the units of the British Army and its overseas possessions as well as by the Boys Brigade. ..."
    See - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillbox_hat#

    I vote for pillbox ...

    Niall McAuley Niall, I would say you are correct, they were certainly productive, a big family! I see in the building report that they own the house, I was surprised by that.

    Niall McAuley Looks likely.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    We did have this Eason shot before suggesting 1910 ish, and its EAS_4018 so close enough in the catalogue sequence, though i'm still not sure this means anything? Niall McAuley
