We're a Couple of Swells

    Just because they are well dressed, it doesn't mean they are trustworthy gentlemen. They might be members of the "Swell Mob" (a true tale of daylight robbery involving Inspector Barefoot of B division, a small boy and a £30 note).
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    John Spooner Oh for the days when one used public transport to be conveyed to one's residence... Brava Mrs Wells for "collaring" Swell Thompson, and Inspector Barefoot?! Were your Couple of Swells sent to Australia?
  • John Spooner said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons Yes, ten years transportation. I reckon there's enough material in Inspector Barefoot's career, as seen in court reports of the 1830s, for a BBC period detective drama.

Surveying for Central Station, 1900

    This is George Melrose, Surveyor who family historians credit with surveying the engineering masterpiece that is the Zig Zag railway. Which reminds me of what has long been one of my favourite photos - "66. [Steam engine hangs over a cliff: on 4 Apr 1901, no. 2542, then 246 of the B205 class, was heading a goods down the 1 in 42 grade between Clarence and Top Points on the Great Zig Zag above Lithgow when it got out of control, burst through a rocky parapet and stopped 65 m. up]"

    Unclaimed remains were relocated to Bunnerong Cemetery, now re-branded Pioneer Memorial Park. From Town Hall to Devonshire Street to Bunnerong - some of the remains probably moved place of burial more often than they moved house when they were alive! Devonshire Street is now the pedestrian underpass that links Elizabeth Street with Railway Square.

    pellethepoet Thanks for this info + the link to the George Melrose webpage, we'll update the caption. So glad you included a link to that steam engine from SLNSW - a real cliffhanger, wouldn't you say! Sorry for the delay in responding, sometimes these slip past unseen....but we get to them eventually.

    Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection I now have my own surveying photo - - but what they're surveying for is anyone's guess!

    pellethepoet That's a great find...and a real challenge for our Flickr Brains Trust! Symmetrical positioning of axes is decorative? AB
