Photograph - Construction of the electric tram line in Cotham Road [Kew], E.J. Dower, 1913
... Kew Historical Society Inc 1 Civic Drive Kew melbourne One ...One of a small album of six photographs of the construction of the Cotham Road tramline in Kew, taken by Edgar James Dower in the second decade of the twentieth century. The reverse of each photo contains notes, written over time by the photographer, which are contained in the 'Inscriptions' field. Born and raised in Olinda, Dower's 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 tram and train lines 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 album as a whole can be viewed separately as the parent file.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 in the album, as well as Dower's single photos mounted on card, individually and collectively richly detail the labour of workers and the tools and machinery used to create and extend Melbourne's tram and train networks in the years preceding and during World War 1.The second of six annotated photos in an album of photographs of the construction of the St Kilda to Kew electric tram line, taken in Cotham Road, Kew, by the amateur photographer, Edgar James Dower, in 1913. The album contains images detailing the preparation for the laying of the tracks plus work laying the line. The photographer notes on a number of the photos that the metal tracks were collected from the Hawthorn railway siding. The album, together with other phots by E.J. Dower has been made available by the owners for the Kew Historical Society to digitise and publish online and in print.Annotation verso: "Preparing electric tram Cotham Road, Kew, 1913 / The metal was brought by horses and drays, from Hawthorn railway siding".keywords, theme -- connecting victorians by transport and communications, theme -- travelling by tram, photographers -- edgar james dower, cotham road -- kew (vic.) -

The association was highly organised and bureaucratic with a formalised structure as detailed in its constitutions. Part of the association was a failed attempt to create a kindergarten for the area, an objective which failed to materialise. The organisation was created and spearheaded by a Mr. Robert Morhead, and would petition the government for many things, including traffic police, superannuation for the council workers, subdivisions and even an internationally standardised Kayaking Course along the Yarra River. The file includes: A 1951 proposed constitution, a revised 1975 constitution, correspondences from the association between fellow members and the local council, invites to meetings, an account authorisation for the association’s finances, an account book with balance sheets, newspaper articles, and many annual reports ranging from the 30th to the 42nd annual report.community groups -- kew (vic.), north kew progress association – kew (vic.), robert morhead – kew (vic.)community groups -- kew (vic.), north kew progress association – kew (vic.), robert morhead – kew (vic.) -
