Where is this ?

I do not know where this is yet, but I have an idea that the bridge (which does not look like convict masonry to me) might be a railway bridge, due to the shallow gradient of the approaches and its apparent strange location half way down a hill away from the town. The church is fairly distinctive, as are all the pre-federation large houses. Blue Mountains?

It's interesting that the clouds were obviously put on the negative with someone's finger. They look very wrong, yet add to the depth of the photograph.

?Lennox Bridge, Lapstone, NSW

Its not the Lennox Bridge at Lapstone. Nothing like it at all. Its quite puzzling. I wonder if it could be down the back of Marrickville somewhere.

"Leaving" Race day, perhaps, since people are walking DOWN the ramps to the trams. This is looking south, with the racecourse to the left, at the end of the pedestrian overbridge, and OLSH / St Pauls Seminary on the hill, at right. The trams are moving away from the camera, toward the Ascot St exit. Note also the dividing fence to stop people from wandering across the tracks, and the stub finials on the tramway-style steel poles, a few of which still remain in Sydney streets.

Nat Thanks, I have amended the caption. AB

A fleet of 'O' type trams. The number of the tram in the foreground looks to be 857. The 1st 'O' type tram was numbered 806 and was a prototype for the 'O' type seen here. It originally had an opened drivers area but was covered, like a cabin, in later models.
