tram

Hmm, I'm minded to think this may well be earlier - the large scale works to reconstruct the Circle/H&C/Met platforms here was completed in c1936/8 and I suspect this may show that work. Also - trams not trolleybuses as you'd have found post-war. I'll check.

I agree - the buses suggest mid to late 30s, and tram routes round Kings Cross were converted to trolleybus operation in 1938.

Saloon cars Each tram in this class was constructed by joining two single deck saloon horse trams together on a single motorized chassis. Their long, enclosed bodies gave rise to their nickname of "coffin cars". They were built in 1897 when delivery of new electric trams was delayed. 6 cars in this class. They were all withdrawn from service by 1930. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trams_in_Brisbane

Horse trams began servicing Brisbane in 1885 running from the city to Woolloongabba, yet electric trams in Ipswich Rd made Mr. Soden’s horse-drawn buses out-of-date by the turn of the century. Electric trams began in Brisbane in 1897 and reached Cornwall street that year. The extension from Cornwall to Dudley Street (then Mary Street) along Ipswich Road in 1899 changed the predominantly rural landscape into residential living. The line was extended to Chardon’s Corner in 1914. Source: www.everywherehistory.com/history-annerley-part-2/

I’d say he’s getting it ready for some bowling.

Somewhere near the Marine Hotel, Sutton Cross ?? Googlesphere - goo.gl/maps/26jpzKbqMNveNq6J7 Satellite 3D - www.google.com/maps/@53.3892929,-6.1132911,71a,35y,123.65...

"The Hotel was built in 1897 in what was a sleepy outlying area of Dublin City. The Hotel was then known as the Golfers Hotel later becoming the Strand Hotel and finally in 1913 the Marine Hotel. It was one of the first businesses to have a telephone, its number being “Sutton 25”. The Gerarty sisters owned and managed the Hotel until 1959 when it was purchased by Oswald Johnson who built a seawater indoor swimming pool, a most unique feature at the time. ..."

The 25" map calls it the "Strand Hotel". The 1901 tram to Howth would be visible in the photo if it was built, so possibly before 1901. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_of_Howth_Tramway

Gardens for a very newly built row of houses, by the looks of it.
