Sir William Powell's Almshouses, Fulham. There are twelve one-bedroom units, all for retired women, subsidized by the local council. I want to live here.
I have no idea where this was in London but in this "after" shot it really looks like a petrol station now! The transformation of this one is quite profound. Edit - Roger has kindly given the location in his comment below.

With January 26th being Australia Day, a good a time as any to remember the days when Melbourne's trams showed a bit more community spirit than they do in 2015.
A flashback to Tuesday, January 24, 2006, and a view of 909 in Spring St. working the City Circle route in the lead up to Australia Day that year.
In 2014, 909 was transferred from the Preston Workshops to the Newport Workshops Depot for storage. Mal Rowe photo.

The Balaclava Road/Hawthorn Road intersection was a fascinating place to spend time, as the tram tracks incorporated a perfectly symmetrical grand union. Route 3 ran through east-west, route 64 ran north-south, route 65 used the east-to-south curves and 69 the east-to-north while the occasional out-of-service car would use the other curves. The 65, which was peak hours only, has since been withdrawn and the 69 has been renumbered 16.
Notwithstanding the density of traffic all turnouts were manually operated requiring the wielding of a point iron. Here the driver is resetting the road to proceed north on Route 64 to Dandenong Road where he will turn west.

In October 2005 SW6.965 was restored to original condition to be presented to Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and Princess Mary. Then on Thursday, 10th November, 2005, SW6.965 was presented to the Danish Consul General, Jorgen Mollegaard, by the Victorian Transport Minister, Peter Batchelor, at a function at Preston Workshops.
On Tuesday, 23rd May, 2006, there was the official inauguration of "the royal tram" into the Danish Tramway Museum's fleet. The vehicle is owned by HRH Crown Prince Frederik and HRH Crown Princess Mary. The Danish Tramway Museum is located in the town of Skjoldenæsholm, about 65 kilometres southwest of Copenhagen, Denmark. The Danish Tramway Historical Society, was founded on 8 February 1965. The Society's aims are to extend knowledge of public transport in an apolitical and idealistic manner.
