Summary

[General description] This view is taken from above and shows a panorama of city buildings along King William Street and beyond. The street is busy with trams and cars, with cars being angle parked at the kerb. Only a few horse-drawn vehicles are to be seen. Pedestrians stroll across the road in a leisurely manner. Note the traffic policeman on point duty near the white car in the foreground. Archer and Holland Jewellers are on the right, and on the left, in the Waterhouse Building is Lawrence and Levy, Tobacconists. The Town Hall is yet to get its clock. [On back of photograph] 'Published in the "Chronicle", Dec. 16, 1922 / King William St. looking south from Hindley St. / Acres 79, 108'
