Captured by JEFF BOUNDS at a time when Brunwick St. was a haunt for Melbourne enthusiasts capturing W class action when the route was about the last to see total W class activity.
This grand old pub building has gone through a number of identities. It appears to have since been known as Lowlander, The Low Country and The Ox Wagon, and returned to the original name in 2017, then renamed to The Courtyard in 2019, since closed. (Close-up of old name on building.)

Craven Cottage is the name of a stadium in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham that has been the home ground of FA Premier League football team Fulham F.C. since 1896. The original cottage was built by Baron Craven in 1780, and at the time was situated in forest. It burnt down in 1888 and until Fulham's arrival had lain to waste.
Fulham's first match at Craven Cottage was played against Minerva in the Middlesex Senior Cup, and shortly afterwards a so-called 'Orange Box Stand' was built, making the original attendance of the stadium 1,000. It was redeveloped in 1905 following an attempt by the London County Council to close it on grounds of safety. It hosted an England vs. Wales international match in 1907 and a Rugby League international in 1911. Fulham became the first First Division club to erect floodlights in their ground in 1962. The most recently built stand is the Riverside Stand, officially named the Eric Miller stand, after a former director, which was constructed in 1972.
Chairman Jimmy Hill was the first man to draw up plans for an all-seater stadium at Craven Cottage, following the Taylor Report into the Hillsborough disaster. They never materialised, and current Chairman Mohammed Al-Fayed realised the need to renovate the stadium as his plans to make Fulham a Premiership side within five years began to materialise. It was decided a groundshare with neighbours Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road was necessary while refurbishments went on. By the time the last league game was played, against Leicester City on April 27, 2002, no building plans had been made. Two more Intertoto Cup games were played there later that year, before which a one year stretch at Loftus Road started. This turned into two as the Fulham Alliance, a small residents' pressure group, stalled new stadium plans.
The current stadium is not the 33,000 state of the art ground Fulham fans would like to see - it is a compromise at 22,000 capacity, which at least lets Fulham play at their spiritual home. Much admired for its fine architecture, the ground hosted its first game post-Loftus Road on Saturday 10 July 2004.
Craven Cottage is where most Fulham fans would like to be, although the club might prefer a more lucrative situation - a larger ground enabling greater ticket revenue. Whether the club is looking for a new site for a stadium is unknown, but recent comments from CEO Jim Hone suggest Fulham are back home for good, probably.
Craven Cottage's record attendance was 49,335 for a match against Millwall in October 1938.

Country: United States - New Orleans. Style: R and B.
Lineup: Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews (trombone/trumpet/v), Tim McFatter (tenor sax), Dan Oestricher (baritone sax), Pete Murano (g), Mike Ballard (bass g), Joey Peebles (d), Dwayne Williams (congas).
For their encore they swapped instruments, and lined up as: Ballard (trumpet), Williams (trombone), Murano (tenor sax), Peebles (g), McFatter (bass g), Andrews (d), Oestricher (congas).>/i>
Troy Andrews was born in Treme in 1986. He is 16 years younger than his older brother, James Andrews. He took up the trombone at a very early age (his first out of town gig with James was aged 4). It was soon after that his brother gave him his moniker, so it has nothing to do with his current height. Aged 7 he lead his first band (Tiny Toones Brass Band), followed by the Trombone Shorty Brass Band. Later he was part of the New Birth Brass Band. Troy Andrews moved away from brass Band music with Orleans Avenue, initially formed with a number of fellow students at NOCCA (New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts).
