New South Head Road, Paddington

• beachcomber australia said:

  From Wikipedia - " In September 1894 a cable tram service opened, which operated from King Street in the city to Ocean Street in Edgecliff. The powerhouse driving it was located at Rushcutters Bay. Unlike other trams of the era which were driven by steam, the cable ran in a gutter between the tracks. The cars gripped the moving cable to advance and released it to stop. It operated until 1905 when the tram line was electrified." It looks like the electric tram wires are here, which would date this as c.1905.

  Thank you for the information regarding the cable tram service which has now allowed us to date the photograph.

  Sod the pimping, whoring, murdering Razor Gangs! - this map is brilliant for tramway stuff including the exact location of the Rushcutters Bay powerhouse ( www.flickr.com/photos/state-records-nsw/4312846848/ ). State Records NSW, do you have a link to the original whole map please?

  Paddington: 2km west, settled in the 1860s, this suburb of steep ridges and hills contains many original Queenslander homes. Named after the London borough of Paddington. Source: hicksrealestate.com.au/secret-history-brisbanes-suburbs-z/
