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

from Halifax Municipal Archives

  • Lynn Currie said:
    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.

    Thanks to Greg B. for help identifying this photo as Prince Albert Road, north of Portland St, looking north with the Starr factory visible in the background.
  • Tom Barlow said:
    Greg that Is Prince Albert Road north Of Portland but I do not think that Is Star Manufacturing. Star was a much longer building then the one In the picture.
