Another lovely old picture and the chap striding towards the camera does add to the interest of the shot. The street looks very clean, no litter.

It's similar in style to the Great Northern Railway Station but I don't think it's the same building.

We have used the presence or absence of tram horses to date many a photo over the years. Today can we focus a little on the working conditions for tram horses back then. We have seen photos of tramway buildings and power stations, but I do not think we have ever seen a Tramway stables or other infrastructure associated with the horses.

The trams were electrified in 1905, so date range 1888 to 1904
