Hi Lorrae, Yes, the slope makes for a handy multi-story carpark now (in a suburb famed for the difficulty of getting a park). I wonder if there was a coronial inquest for your Samuel POLLARD? Good luck, Deb -----Original Message----- From: aus-qld-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-qld-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Lorrae Subject: Re: [AUS-QLD] C1915 - Tramway Fitter at Paddington Thanks Alan and Deb Now that makes sense too. The link Deb provided showed that: It was on the side of a hill and was largely timber and corrugated iron panels. The front of the depot was at street level, but owing to the slope of the site, the rear of the depot was supported by a forest of timber supports, some over 50 feet (15 m) high. The State Library of Qld shows: http://blogs.slq.qld.gov.au/jol/2009/06/01/paddington/ 1915 - Paddington Tram Depot constructed. Samuel POLLARD died on 2 April 1915 as a result of an accident at work - he was a Tramway Fitter. I need to do more research here to determine his cause of death - more than what would be recorded on his death cert.
