Amalgamated Wireless Australasia Ltd, York Street, Sydney, c. February 1939, Arthur Ernest Foster

from State Library of New South Wales

• beachcomber australia said:

  I think the "c. December 1938" date might be too early. The 'Pegasus' symbol was "selected" by Sir Ernest Fisk in February 1939. Presumably it took a while to be installed. See - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/222854384?searchTerm=A...

• State Library of New South Wales said:

  Yes - there seemed to be a month or so gap between the other photos but as you say the delay in getting the logo might have meant slightly longer date - will update to c. February 1939 until we get a more definitive date. We would also like to reiterate how useful Flickr and the comments from other members have been in helping us update the catalogue records in the Library database. Thanks.

  Fascinating to see the delicate alignment of blocks under the keel and then the baulks of timber to hold her upright.

  According to saveindustrialbrooklyn.org/red_hook.html the dry dock, in Brooklyn, NY, was filled in recently and is the parking lot for the Brooklyn IKEA. See the parking lot at www.google.com/maps/@40.6717748,-74.0131385,406m/data=!3m... History of the shipyard is at www.shipbuildinghistory.com/history/shipyards/5small/inac...

Flinton Home - Owned by Forbes and Yorks - 1964

from Cloyne and District Historical Society

• JACKIE BLEECKER said:

  This photo is potentially Mrs. Casey's Store in Flinton. I've received some new information to the contrary which I will follow up on and confirm here in future!
  (Mrs. Casey's daughter's first name was Jeanine. Mrs. Casey also had a son named Cyril. The far room contained a pool table and a shuffleboard table. I remember my brother Barry and I buying penny candies at Mrs. Casey's store from Jeanine with money given to us by our grandfather, Wilfrid Lessard in the mid to late 1960's.)

  This was the home of Fred A. York (1876-1922) and his wife Mabel Jane Wagar (1879-1962). I believe she lived here until about the time of her death. My mother, Meryl York, was born in this house in 1932. Fred York was a blacksmith whose shop was across the road in the building that became Davison's Garage (since torn down). This house had been a store and Mom said you could still see the bell for ringing for help. Fred A. York's parents Frederick Haner York (1840-1888) and Margaret Cummings (1840-1927) were storekeepers in Flinton from the 1880s and Margaret continued on after his death.
