Could be 60, 70's, to me

Is that the bell tower of the Catholic Church in the background? If it is then its pre Inagahua earthquake.

Kerry Keating
Bruce Keddie Yep, it is the steeple on St Pat's in Chapel st you can see Bruce.

Kerry Keating
I would think it was in the 1940s. The triangle structure the ships aimed at to come in.

Geoffrey King
Blimey not the 60's or 70's. It has to be before 1947 because that was the year the Town Hall caught fire then demolished and after 1904/5 when it was built. The town Hall is in the picture. It also has to be before 1935 because the Regent Theatre is not in the frame and that was built 1934 / 35. From memory the Gilmer was built around 1908 / 10 and that is in the frame so there is a period in question from 1909 to 1934 = around 25 years

Robin Morresey
That looks like a diesel engine ,plus the wagons are steel so proberly sixties

I think 50s to 60s .The angle of photo has the Gilmer hotel and looking too much to the Sth/E to show major buildings of downtown Greymouth. I cannot make out the town hall. Desmond may know the origin of the photo?
