HAMILTON
ROAD _4440
This is Hamilton road in 1911 and as you
can see the photographer has persuaded the driver of the car to turn around
facing the wrong way. While on the other side of the road he positioned the
horse and cart with the two ladies with hats that I wouldn't like to sit behind
and a man on the pavement. As always back then you had to stay still for the
photograph but the horse hasn't an so its head is blurred. To the left of
the car is Ward Park and the next street up on the left is Park Drive, Springfield
Road is next on the right.The houses to the left in the background are on
Castle Street. In the distance the first spire is of Hamilton Road Presbyterian
and the other is Saint Columbanus.
