Preparing Brisbane City Hall for the royal visit in 1954

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  On 9 March 1954, Queen Elizabeth II made history by being the first-ever reigning monarch to set foot in Queensland. With her husband Prince Phillip in tow, the then 27-year old monarch arrived in Brisbane to much fanfare and excitement. The Queen’s entourage, a modest collection of 38 staff, were on hand at all times to ensure that royal protocol was upheld as Her Majesty navigated her royal duties despite what the UK newspaper’s described as a “sultry heat”. The royal visit attracted seven million people, who came out to catch a glimpse of the newly-crowned monarch, and every minute of the tour was meticulously planned from the elaborate motorcade processions to the glittering Lord Mayor’s Royal Ball which brought a touch of glitz and glamour to City Hall.

  Oooh, another fire ladder! marked on the 25" as a Fire Escape. Trees now obscure this aspect in streetview

• Niall McAuley said:

  A set of fire ladders in Kingstown in the archive, and another in Monkstown

• Niall McAuley said:

  In this Bing bird's eye view, you can see that the long building with a skylight at right is the dead zoo.

• Niall McAuley said:

  Dating detail: swan necked lamp-post at left means after 1901 and tram electrification. No actual light on the lamp-post may mean it is during electrification works.

• Niall McAuley said:

  (Unlike many other streets, the swan necked lamp posts are still there in streetview).

  Just remembered a street rhyme "If you weren't so Ballymena with your Ballymoney You'd have a Ballycastle for your Ballyhome"

• Robin Parkes said:

  Still a great wee town. Nice to see one man "futtin" the ladder as we would say up here. Health and safety is not a new thing after all.
