Colour photo shows W class tram travelling west towards the city along Victoria Parade. The tram is a No 42 to Mont Albert. This route merged with route 111 in 1993 to become route 109. The tram is crossing an intersection which is probably Powlett Street. The tramline is bordered by neatly clipped privet hedges.

History of item
Photographer's note:
Back to the days of tram conductors and assisting ladies with prams onto/off trams! In this view i am fairly close to the Eastern Hill end of the tramway easement. The MMTB bordered this easement with a low wood and wire fence whichever time, had become absorbed by a well kept, fine leaf, hedge. The trees are full and well kept. It was a most pleasant part of the journey out to MontAlbert. This tram is heading into the city. The left hand advertisement on the tram front is for Chico Rolls.
