    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/27993114@N08] Absolutely! Though the silky top could give with a bit of an iron...

    NLI yer wicked! I was thinking the same but wondered if ironing silk is that easy - or was way back then before computerised electric irons? Interesting that they had an enterprise like that in a city. Interesting that they have/had a Railway Square on that side of the river given that the railway is on the Kilkenny side or in "Christendom" according to the google map? Does that make my friends from Waterford benighted heathens then????

    Swordscookie Oh, steady now! I'm half Waterford... ;) I'll be posting a pic of the stables themselves shortly, so keep an eye out.

  • Nat said:
    Strictly speaking, I think it's Pitt Street, looking north, at the intersection of Eddy Ave (right) and Rawson Place (left).

    Nat Thankyou, I have found a similar Google Street View. We will amend the caption. AB

    The foreground shows a coupled set of 'P' type trams with another coupled set turning off to the right.

    The light is wonderful!!
  • Bankstown Babyboomer said:
    The lighting effect is part-caused by the smoke generated by the many steam locomotives working at Central Station yards to the right middle out of frame.

    How did the photographer take this picture? No buildings here, unless a telephoto lens from George Sreet West.
