Eight-hour Day march in Bundaberg Queensland 1910

  Labour Day has been an official Queensland public holiday, celebrated on the first Monday in May, since 1912 (except for 2013 to 2015 when the holiday was moved to October) and before that as Eight Hours Day since 1901. Before its official recognition as a public holiday, parades and celebrations had taken place in Queensland since the 1860s. The first celebration took place in Brisbane on 16 March 1861 and was essentially a celebration by a small number of skilled building workers who had recently achieved an eight-hour working day. The date of the event was chosen to coincide with the anniversary of the first workers achieving the eight hour day in Queensland. Source: www.slq.qld.gov.au/blog/labour-day-history-pictures

Newcastle West End demolition

from North East Museums

  Typical "Tyneside Flats" with front and rear views in one photo. On the right of the photo the two front doors are together. The right door was for the ground-floor flat. The left door was for the staircase to the upper flat. In Stanley, County Durham some designs had 4 front doors grouped together. In the centre of the photo is the rear view with an open staircase leading to the upper flat. Imagine coming down that staircase in the dark winter to visit the outside toilet. Each small back yard had its own back gate and coal house. There were chimney stacks for the living room and kitchen coal fires.
