Spot the Carriages!
Do you ever look at the photograph and dismiss it as "oh yes seen that one". Quickly moving on to another one or topic. I don't always follow my 'challenge' of take another look, so beware you never know what new things you will find.
So when I looked at the Burton Bros photo of Albert Street yesterday, nothing really clicked until I saw the horse carriages centre left, parked on the west side of Brown Street. Look below, can you spot them?
Grahamstown, New Zealand, by Burton Brothers studio. Te Papa (C.014011)
I won't be surprised if you say "No", an enlargement is necessary. There they are far left in the photograph.
Why was it special to see those carriages? Well it reminded me that I had seen them a short time back - May 2019 when Tom alerted us to the fact that Burton Bros had made a panorama using three separate photographs. In C.014008, the carriages are parked, north of the Cochrane Street intersect.
While Te Papa Tongarewa have not labelled the photographs sequentially, the photographs have been labelled by Burton Bros as "3241" and 3242".
Left: Grahamstown, New Zealand, by Burton Brothers studio. Te Papa (C.014008) - 3241
Right: Grahamstown, New Zealand, by Burton Brothers studio. Te Papa (C.014011) - 3242
The wonderful result is that we have these four photographs compiling a panorama of The Thames from pre 1885 thanks to Burton Bros Photography!

Further Directories can be found at my old Thames site, some links work, while others dont!
Ancestry.au has New Zealand City & Area Directories 1866-1954 online (some are indexed, while others you need to browse to locate your Thames folk). Remember the library edition of ancestry is free to use until the end of May via the Thames-Coromandel District Libraries website.
Challenge:
When you see a photograph, stop and check some street directories and ask who lived at The Thames during the time the photograph was taken. Maybe it was your ancestor!
