Cyclist and car on unidentified [Halifax] street - possibly South Park St.

    Maybe South Park St at Inglis, before Young Ave.
  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    The trolley tracks did go along South Park St., and turned up Inglis so you could be right, Lynn Currie Thanks!
  • Abbie Hudson said:
    In 1923 we switched to driving on the right side of the road. Same with the steering wheel switching to the left side. Although blurry, it looks like this car has the steering wheel on the left side and is driving on the right... so I'm thinking it must be after 1923
  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    Abbie Hudson Thanks for your help with this, Abbie! That's a great piece of information to go on. We've updated the date here and in the database.

    THe only archive on flickr commons to ruin every single picture with an ugly logo on the corner of every single image.

    www.flickr.com/photos/146237924@N02/ if you need a clean image of any of our content, please email archives[at]halifax.ca. We decided to watermark our images after finding them for sale on commercial sites. We invest a lot in preserving original photographs, digitizing them and documenting all the details we have on them to share with the public so people can enjoy them. If they want to profit from their use we ask that they contact us.
