A Streetcar Named 13

    Awesome past. Wish could be there for a moment.

    A great picture of a place I know well. Some of the buildings are still there, but the church in the background was bombed in WWII and demolished to be replaced by 'Peace Gardens'. In England streetcars are called 'trams'.

Westward Ho

from The National Archives UK

  • Picture Esk said:
    The "Westward Ho" was a paddle steamer built at Ayr in 1894. She served most of her life sailing between ports on the Bristol Channel. She even served as a mine sweeper during W.W.II. She was scrapped in 1946.
  • Brian Davis said:
    Is there a hatless person on board?
  • Will Smile said:
    Great fun for the few women aboard.

Underwater Rail

from The National Archives UK

  • Picture Esk said:
    This photo was probably taken on Saturday 27 October 1900 after snow and rain had flooded the Tynemouth branch line. At Cullercoats station a train tried to get through the flood and was partially derailed. The passengers had to be rescued by boats that were brought to the station from the beach.

    An impressive image indeed! [via Flickroom]
  • Allan McKever said:
    I think Cullercoats station has had problems with flooding in more recent years but never this bad I don't think. I've also seen another shot of boats on a flooded Cullercoats Station but looking in the opposite direction towards Tynemouth. This was also from early 1900s. If anyone knows of it please post a link here if that's possible. Everyone seems to be posing for the photographer in this shot (except the dog on the left)!
