Horse-drawn tram, Patrick Street, Cork

    Hi, Very interesting to see the 'knifeboard' arrangement for top deck passengers on the trams in both photographs. This arrangement was superceded by the 'Garden Seat' configuration where passengers face forward as in modern day buses etc. I think the change was gradual starting in the late 1870s early 1880s.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Leonard Bentley Thank you so much! Hadn't heard that term before, but will use it as a tag in future, or Garden Seat where applicable. This says that the term was first used in Punch on 15 May 1862...

    The rails seem to very wide apart compared with the later electric trams.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    blackpoolbeach Much wider! Do you remember this one of the woman dashing across the street at almost exactly the same spot on Patrick Street?

    If only they could bring these street lamps back, to replace the current, building site inspired monstrosities.

    I think she may be The Wicked Witch of the West, rushing to catch the tram, 'cos she left her broomstick in Oz. Interesting to compare with a LOC image on flickr (ignore some idiot's remarks about Saint Patrick!) -
  • John Spooner said:
    Was there some special anniversary or occasion for people to put out so many flags? And what's the quartered one on the left?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia Yeah, what an idiot! ;) Well, at least we know the trams were electrified in 1898, so circa 1900 is ok for the moment...

    John Spooner There must have been, mustn't there? Never seen such an array of flags in our photos without some event or other... Naval visit perhaps?
