Photograph shows Bell St, Preston looking eastward toward Plenty Rd with the newly constructed (1958-60) Preston and Northcote Community Hospital in the background. Signage in the foreground reads 'Tramway Excavation - No left turn at Plenty Rd' which may indicate works outside the East Preston tram depot (opened 1955) located in Plenty Rd less than 100 metres north of Bell St. In the mid-ground, several passengers wearing coats wait for a Bell St bus and numerous motor cars are shown on this narrow stretch of Bell St that would not be widened until the 1970s. While no note is attached, the model of motor cars suggest a date in the 1960s.Yields information about Bell St preston in 1960s
