Clyde / Hudson Brothers online photo collection

Statement of significance [from the website]
Almost all of the glass plate negatives in the Clyde photograph collection were taken at the Clyde works in Granville, and depict both the workers and the machinery they manufactured. Subjects covered include: railway locomotives and rolling stock; agricultural equipment; large engineering projects funded by Australian State and Federal governments; airplane maintenance and construction and Clyde's contribution to the first and second World Wars. Some photographs date back to the 1880s but most were taken between 1898 and 1945.

A very interesting collection.

Clicking a side link for 'Clyde Engineering Rolling Stock' took me to
