Charlestown Public School Plan, 1878

from Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection

beachcomber australia said:
The school moved into their new building in October 1879. I don't think this building is still there. More history including a bombing in 1936 - www.charlestow-p.schools.nsw.edu.au/school.html#history
beachcomber australia said:
@ State Records NSW - Is this only half of the document?
Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:
Yes, it's just part of the plan. It was a previous digitisation order - other half wasn't requested. If I come across it, though, I'll add it here! Thanks for the adding the link.

Boston, Massachusetts, Mail Streetcar

from Smithsonian Institution

Brenda Anderson said:
Looking more closely at the sign (and knowing the geography of the Boston area), the description would be more accurate if it said "traveled to Malden via Broadway and Ferry Streets". This map of the Elevated system (found on Wikipedia) might be of interesting as it shows the line heading north from Charlestown up through Everett (on Broadway) and then on to Ferry St to Malden. -- Seen in a discussion of the group "Flickr Commons" (?)

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Die Erinnerungen, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
PMCC Post Office Photos said:
This is classic. But yes, it's TO the northern suburb of Malden by way of Broadway and Ferry Streets.
Lewis Remington said:
It's interesting to see how much the mail system has changed, but also how much it has stayed the same. Mail isn't typically sent via a train like this, but it still is transported across the states by large vehicles or planes. It just depends on if you are sending bulk mail or not; different services treat it differently. www.omsmail.com

Per crucem et passionem tuam Libera nos Domine Through your cross and passion, Lord deliver us

St James Church Charlestown, diocese of Achrony. Original Plaque at rear of Church reads To the greater glory of God. This Church having been erected by the exertions of Charles Strickland Esquire, of Lough Lynn House in the County of Roscommon was commenced on the feast of St James the Apostle, July the 25th 1855 and consecrated on the 3rd of November 1858, by the Right Rev Dr Durcan, Bishop of Achonry. I have loved O Lord the beauty of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

Everything you wanted to know about Thomas J Wynne (Flickr is sometimes amazing, or one bit of it anyway!)

The Plaque on the left hand side reads Pray for the soul of Rev Paul Henry, CC, who died on the 9th of September 1869 aged 29 years. Brass Plaque near the altar reads Indulgenced Memorial Cross, Mission of the Passionist Fathers, May 1874, JXP.

I'm hopelessly lost - so many Charlestowns - is this the right church? The windows? Streetview - goo.gl/maps/b4zcDpCY2iSviW3s5
