Brisbane suburb of Virginia, 1952

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Selectively occupied for farm purposes, Virginia became an identified district with the opening of the North Coast railway line in 1888. Four years later the Virginia Brick company was formed, with its quarry and works west of the railway station. A post office was opened in 1898. A small village formed around the railway station, with a Presbyterian church (1911) and a primary school (1920) to the west, and a general store and houses near the junction of Toombul and Sandgate Roads on the other side. A School of Arts (1922) was shared with Northgate at the corner of Scott and Ridge Streets. Although there was local employment at the brick and pipe works, the Northgate railway workshops and the fruit cannery near Banyo, residential development was not forced out to Virginia until the late 1950s. Development included several factories along the railway corridor, which by the late 1990s were being redeveloped for other commercial uses. Source: www.queenslandplaces.com.au/virginia

    Train Ferry No. 2 ... ... "The ship was built by Armstrong, Whitworth & Company Ltd, Low Walker and launched in 1917. Along with her sister ships SS Train Ferry No. 1 and SS Train Ferry No. 3, they were the first vessels to offer regular transport between Britain and continental Europe for rail freight vehicles. They were ordered by the British Army to provide rail freight transport from Richborough harbour to the continent to sustain the war effort. They had four sets of rails along the train deck and used a link span to load when in harbour. On 1 February 1919 she was involved in the rescue of British and American soldiers from the American transport Narrangansett which had gone ashore on Bembridge Point, Isle of Wight.[2] In March 1922 she was sent to Ireland to expedite the transfer of surplus Army motor transport.[3] She made several voyages from Cork and Dublin to Liverpool but was back at Plymouth in December.[4] After their use by the British Army ended in 1922, they were purchased by the Great Eastern Railway ... ..."

    Cork ? If this was Lapps Quay, the customs base, there should be tram lines opposite on Albert Quay. I doubt this is Cork City.
