Description of No. 7

In this picture the main feature is the northern part of Ascot Racecourse, with the stables in the nearer corner. The railway line and Doomben Station are also visible in the front section of the picture. The line crosses the Nudgee Road, and runs past the Stables. The clear space in the top right hand corner is a portion of Doomben, where aerial experiments have been carried out. In the foreground is the suburb of Whinstanes, and the Nudgee Road runs through the centre of the view, and is conspicuous by its straight formation. The stands at Ascot are outside the left margin, part of the lawn being just visible. The first road running off Nudgee Road to the left is Lancaster Road. The first running to the right is Jackson Street, with Lamington Avenue on the other side of the railway line. Running parallel with the Nudgee Road at the front of the picture is Winchester Road, Oxford Street, and Windsor Street, which is in the bottom right hand corner. On the other side of the railway line are Brassey Street and Hopetown Street, with Hampton Street bounding them in the middle distance. Running along the top is Manson Road, and Kitchener Road is seen running across the top left hand corner.
