When I was in Melbourne, Australia last year, I saw this mosaic on the sidewalk outside St. Paul's Cathedral. I have no idea what it could have been intended for. Perhaps a Ladies Only bus stop, entrance or waiting area at one time in the cathedral's history? If anyone has a theory or, even better, knows it's original purpose, I'd love to hear it.
And if I'd known how much this was going to intrigue me, I would have taken the time to get a sharper photo. This was a quick walk-by.
I'm participating in ABC Wednesday today with the letter L.

Maybe Ladies are supposed to walk on one side of the sidewalk and Gents on the other side?
ReplyDelete@Daisy -- That's as good a guess as anything I've come up with.
ReplyDeleteHopefully it was not intended for any Ladies-Of_the-Evening.

Hmmm must be a ladies only bus stop? Hahahaha! Well possible because here in the Philippines we have Ladies only coach in the train stations :) Nice pic for L.
ReplyDeleteThis one totally baffles me but what a great choice for the letter L. Bet no one else has it...

ReplyDeleteIt is interesting - it makes one wonder!
ReplyDeleteI don't participate in ABC Wednesday but your photo intrigued me. Was the sign in front of or near an entrance? Maybe women were restricted at one time (long ago) to one part of the church...
