• robertgh3 said:

  50 years since the original trams ceased on 25 Feb 1961. Wonderful celebrations were held at the Sydney Tramway Museum over the weekend of 26/7 Feb 2011.

  Tram shed on right still exists as the bus shelter on Elizabeth Street, corner Park Street.

  Just going on the theatre advert over on the left, the year has to be 1905...maybe December...when the Royal Comic Opera Company presented 'A Girl from Kays' at Her Majesty's Theatre...it was the holiday attraction...the first performance was on 26th December. One slight problem is that the advertising hoarding has the date 'Sat December 23'...per the various newspaper adverts, the first performance was on 26th December...but maybe the discrepancy was due to rescheduling.

  From this site. www.jewishitaly.org/detail.asp?ID=74 Apparently it is still there. The heart of the community is an imposing 1880 synagogue, with mosque-like turrets and three different worship spaces. The top level houses festival celebrations, the sunken sanctuary below is home to the weekly Shabbat services and the smallest space displays an ark from the original ghetto synagogue, its ornate decorations repainted in black and gold, to honor King Carlo Alberto who in 1848, abolished the ghetto, only to die the following year. It’s a typical post-emancipation synagogue grand, monumental, because after years of ghetto life, Jewish people wanted to show their presence here. And here is another site with a good history of the Jewish community in Turin. www.smithgcb.demon.co.uk/pied_hadassah.htm
