toll

Unlike many other systems, Brisbane never adopted an alphabetical or numerical system for classifying its trams (cf Melbourne trams), preferring instead to use official descriptions, such as "standard center aisle car", or "drop-center saloon car". Horse trams single deck saloon single deck crossbench double deck - open top deck, lower saloon California Combination Combination tram in Racecourse Road, Ascot Officially referred to as "Standard Combination" trams, but more popularly referred to as "matchboxes". They had a central 4 window saloon with 2 tip-over cross-bench seats on each end platform. There were 62 trams in this class, built between 1897 and 1904, with the last one withdrawn from passenger service in 1952. Two, (nos 14 and 15), were converted into "scrubber" cars (track maintenance cars). Several were used as advertising cars, with 47 and 53 being used as one-man cars on the Gardens shuttle route.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Sydney Harbour Bridge, and we'd love to have this added to the group! -- Seen in your Sydney Harbour Bridge set. (?)

Building still there and basically intact externally.

Do we know the spot where it was taken?

Not exactly. We know this road is in Burwell in Cambridgeshire. I'll update the description to provide more information. Burwell has a "Ness Road" I notice but not obviously a 'Nest'.

Great - a pleasure to view. It is, as if the whole scenery could be restarted again with pushing one single button. I have almost a movie in my mind, what they did, after the shot was taken...

This toll was in between burwell and Fordham in Cambridgeshire known as Ness rd ! . There is another photo from another perspective on Newmarket history archive site which is in fact one of their mystery photos . Mystery solved ! :) the exact location is marked by an inscribed post on the spot .

I will try to upload photo of this to my favourites .
