Summary

King William Street, Adelaide, looking south from near the intersection with North Terrace toward the intersection of Rundle Street and Hindley Street. Buildings in the foreground on the eastern side of King William Street are the National Bank and Beehive Corner and on the western side are the English, Scottish and Australian Bank and the Australian Mutual Provident (AMP) Society. The street is busy with horse drawn vehicles and pedestrians. A telegraph pole and wires also dominates the foreground. The Adelaide Town Hall clock tower can be seen in the distance. A banner advertising the play 'Sweet Nell of Old Drury' which was presented at the Theatre Royal, Hindley Street, from 28 April 1902 to 9 May 1902 is visible in high resolution scans. The horse trams are lunch time 'specials', which did not stop, and two pedestrians can be seen running to board the moving tram. Many city workers went home for lunch at this time [additional information provided by a researcher].
