Erskine Street Tram, Double Bay

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?!

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

beachcomber australia Yes! Nice work making the connection. The change in street numbers is not surprising.

The Sydney metropolitan detail series (Google Satellite View equivalent of late 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.

Re the date - from the GoogleMapsStreetView above, the buildings which replaced this corner shop (Bob Janes and the blocks of units) look to be c.1930, which would make this photo late 1920s. Also the 1920s car in Reddy Street behind.
