Summary

[General description] Business premises in Franklin Street. On the left is a showroom for Austin motor cars. On the right is the premises for J.W. Turner, Plumbers; Clarence E. Hughes, Upholsterer, and the Adelaide Plating Works. The shiny motor cars in the window of the Austin showroom contrast with the transport of an earlier era; a delivery horse harnessed to a cart and feeding from a nosebag in front of Turner's. The Austin dealership is soon to expand into Turner's premises, see B 5799. [On back of photograph] 'Acre 264 / Franklin Street, south side / June 20, 1928 / Site of J.W. Turner's: Left side is 45 yards west of Pitt Street. Frontage is 7 1/2 yards / Compare with B 5799'.
