Summary

[General description] Two of the new electric trams, numbers 42 to Hyde Park and 59 to Edward Street, Kensington. The tram lines and poles that support the wires recede into the distance. City buildings line the streets, the most prominent being the Town Hall with its empty clock face. Two men with bowler hats stroll along the middle of the road. [On back of photograph] 'King William Street, looking south from a point south of Grenfell Street / Dec. 1909 / Extreme right is 63 yards north of Waymouth Street.' Both trams are 'B type' toastrack trams introduced to form part of the first Adelaide tram fleet in 1908-1909. 42 on the left hand side has been restored to fully operable condition at the St Kilda Tramway Museum.
