See comments and links - the Grace carpet grounds store helped pinpoint the exact location of the shack and several related photos ...

See comments at www.flickr.com/photos/state-records-nsw/3863900492/. c.1905, from the tram evidence. All the businesses seem to be closed and delapidated; perhaps about to be demolished for road widening, or maybe for the building of the Sydney Stadium in 1908 - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_Stadium .

? Same building later ...

beachcomber australia Yes. Later renumbered 125. The Sydney metropolitan detail series (Google Satellite View equivalent of the 1880s) - acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/_zoomify/2008/D00663/a1367322.html - gives a clearer understanding of the former layout of the buildings at the intersection.

That is not Erskine Street, Sydney. I think it is New South Head Road, Double Bay, looking SE from near Gladswood Gardens. Google street view - maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&... I am wondering if the tram was going to Erskine Street (hence the confusion). It is on the old King Street line which was extended to a new terminus in Erskine St. See 1903 map with tram routes marked - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview?pi=nla.map-rm1635-sd&rgn=0... . So "Erskine Street Tram, Double Bay 1949" might be a better title? 3 February 1949 was a THURSDAY ! And from the lack of shadows I'd say it is about noon. Can anyone identify the cars?!

Yep, spot on beachcomberaustralia.

The car in the foreground is a an "R1" class, rated at 56 seated passengers on upholstered seats, the car in the distance also appears to be an "R1" class. Both cars were designed about 1935
