Laying cables from Power House, South Mole, through the tunnel to the Tramways Carbarn

DESCRIPTION

Reference numberLH001877DescriptionThe jarrah blocks were laid in 1898 (dimensions: 7 x 15 x 2cm). They were supplied by the W.A. Timber Company Lockeville. The removal of these blocks in 1905, for the laying of the tramlines and cables, led to problems as the water was trapped underneath and the blocks swelled. They were finally removed from High Street in 1954. On the right is a hut for a railway crossing attendant. Behind this is the Tramways Carbarn. The Union Bank (1889) is on the left, corner of High and cliff Streets.Date1905PhotographerKeane, George Edward Photograph FormatPhotographDigital ItemYes
