Reference numberES00460DescriptionHigh Street looking east from William Street. Note the Central Buildings beyond the Town Hall. These were erected pre 1905 and demolished to make way for Council's Exhibition Hall, which officially opened in 1966. The Oriana Theatre (1938-1972) on the corner of High and Queen Streets is also featured. High Street from Queen to William Street is open to traffic. This was closed to through traffic in late 1966 and traffic was rerouted around the Town Hall. Cars still parked along this section of High Street and at the rear of the Town Hall (or side of Civic Administration Centre) until 1976 when the areas were paved and planted with grass, trees and shrubs.Date1965PhotographerEdmonds, MurrayPhotograph FormatSlideDigital ItemYes
