This is R 1738, the first of the new corridor trams, in September 1933, just before its unveiling on 29 September 1933 at Randwick Workshops. It still exists in the Powerhouse Museum collection at Castle Hill Storage. R 1740 runs regularly at the Sydney Tram Museum at Loftus, next station after Sutherland.

The card tied to the nearest seat at centre left reads "THE MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT". Even he couldn't get a window seat.

Good morning all Flickroonies and here is a scene of intense industry and an issue of location for you from Irelands oldest city. Waterford is a beautiful, ancient and historic city and the traders there have a long history of innovation and style. Hearnes are no exception and this shot shows their tailors at work. Who can help us to put this in the correct location????

Here in the archive is Hearne's tailor shop window, at number 64.

Niall McAuley Very good Niall but 64 what? The Quay or Georges Street???

Both! Looking at the OSI site at GeoHive, Number 64 on Merchant's Quay (now Meagher's Quay) stretched right back to George's Street behind. Today the site is split between the Granville Hotel on the Quay and a shopping centre on George's street, but back in the day, it was one site.

The word Overseer comes to mind for those standing up? The workers all seem to be reasonably well dressed, perhaps as a perk of the job they were able to make a suit for themselves? Is there a status attaching to the hats that can be seen in the photo. Ps - the note feature you talked about last week is sorely missed

I'll vote for Donnybrook. (OSI Map). Here's someone memories of Donnybrook, including a list of shops - with Gillick's the greengrocer at 29, Kennedy's Pub at 22-24, etc.

Looks familiar, alright. Did we have one of Donnybrook before?

It's similar to this one, but not a match: catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000298612

The pub there could be Kiely's. www.google.ie/maps/@53.322181,-6.236936,3a,75y,123.24h,82...

There's a Lizzie Gillick, "fruiterer", at 29.2 Donnybrook Rd in the 1911 Census. Along with James Dunne, a boot and shoemaker, at 29.1.
