    Jolly inconvenient of the photographer not to include the nameboard in the photograph! Maybe it's Blaxland or Blackheath?

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Springwood NSW, and we'd love to have this added to the group! We'd love to have some of the old photos for the area posted to the Springwood Group Local Studies - this one is great

    Appears to be the New Haven Railroad's Middleboro, MA yard. View is looking NNE from the Route 28 overpass toward the Middleboro station (barely visible in the background in the top center of photo, to the left of the water tank) and toward Boston. Tracks on the far right head to Cape Cod. Tracks in the foreground head toward Taunton, MA.

    Nice to be here

    I agree with billreidy. I live right up the street from this location. I think I have a picture from the same location. I will try and find it and post if if I can. It would be nice to see the difference.

    In the UK chains are dangled from gantries a few yards ahead of low bridges (over roads) to alert vans and trucks. The driver hears the chains rattling over the roof of the van (and ruining the paintjob). This is a nice picture.

Aftermath of Kalbar fire, 1920

from State Library of Queensland

    DISASTROUS FIRE IN QUEENSLAND. BRISBANE, February 17. A disastrous fire occurred at Kalbar, formerly Englesburg, in the West Moreton district, early this morning. It was discovered at about 1.30 a.m., in Munford's refreshment rooms, on the main Boonah road, and raged until about 4 o'clock. Practically all the inhabitants turned out to fight the flames, but they were greatly handicapped through having to use water from house tanks. They were successful, however, in saving several large places of business. About 100 yards of buildings have been totally destroyed. The demolished premises include the school of arts and the local branch of the Bank of Queensland. Only some of the places are insured. It is not yet possible to estimate the damage.
