Photograph - Construction of the electric tram line in Riversdale Road, Surrey Hills, E.J. Dower, 1916
... Construction of the electric tram line in Riversdale Road...Annotated verso: "Preparing for electric tram line...: "Preparing for electric tram line, Riversdale Road, Surrey Hills ...One of a series of photographs, taken by Edgar James Dower in the second decade of the twentieth century. Born and raised in Olinda, his family later moved to Surrey Hills. He worked as an adult as a clerk in the city office of the Metropolitan Gas Company, and in his role as a 'collector', he was able to photograph scenes including the construction of tramlines and associated buildings in Kew, Hawthorn, Camberwell and Surrey Hills. Later he established a real estate agency with his brother - the E.J. Dower Real Estate Agency, Dandenong Office.The image is an historically significant record of the development of transport infrastructure which was used to connect Victorians in the first two decades of the twentieth century. This development resulted from increases in population and the consequent extension of Melbourne's suburbs. The photographs, both individually and collectively, richly detail the labour of workers and the tools and machinery used to create and extend Melbourne's tram network in the years preceding and during World War 1.Digital copy of an original oval mounted photograph of the construction of the tracks for the new electric tramline in Riversdale Road, Surrey Hills. Annotated verso: "Preparing for electric tram line, Riversdale Road, Surrey Hills / Taken from near Warrigul [sic] Road / note Essex Road on right with picket fencing."theme --- travelling by tram, theme -- connecting victorians by transport and communications, trams -- boroondara (vic.), riversdale road -- surrey hills -
