Ron Scholten has passed on to me a series of slides and postcards from
his collection.

Many of them date from the period when he operated a sales business on
behalf of the TMSV from the family shoeshop in Flinders St.

I'll share them from time to time as I am able to scan and clean up.

Here's the first.

It's a postcard of the Corso at Manly and appears to show a horse tram.

I found a reference to these in the PowerHouse museum site:

It seems that the horse trams ran only from 1903 to 1907.

I think the postmark is 15 May 1909.

.... over to the Sydney mob to fill in the details!

Mal Rowe ... who visited Manly once - long after all trams had disappeared.
