"The photo shows nineteen Dodge taxis angle parked in an unidentified street. The street has tram tracks and overhead lines. As the box in which these negatives were found is labelled 'All British Cabs. / at Nestles' it is possible that the cabs are in Great North Road, Abbotsford, where Nestle's had its factory. Some registration plates are visible on the vehicles - NSW Taxi Cabs 103, 399, 1994, 378, 331, 677, 303, 72, 1001, 1953, 1491, 105, 979 and 566. The headquarters of the All British Cab Service was at 11 William Street, Sydney." —From the Item Description.
