There is a pergola nearby and the house has a tiled roof. This is the backyard of cable tram enthusiast and historian, Alf Twentyman, who bought the retired trailer car in 1929 and placed it behind his house as a sewing room for his wife and a playroom for their children. Over the years he purchased more cable trams, storing them in his backyard, repairing and painting them and loaning them for exhibitions. Alf’s tramway knowledge and preservation work have contributed much to today’s understanding of Melbourne's earliest tramway network. Alf's grandfather, architect Edward Twentyman, designed the cable tram company's head office at 673 Bourke Street, Melbourne and many cable tram buildings. He also designed prominent homes, hotels and the prestigious Block Arcade in Collins Street.Yields information about use of retired cable tram cars and Alf Twentyman.

Melbourne's network of cable tramways developed from the 1880s and became one of the largest in the world at that time. Electrification of the line occurred between 1925 and 1937. This and other postcards and photos came from the estate of David Moyle (1938-2015) who was a police officer in Emerald during late 1960s-early 1970s, and subsequently at Belgrave in the early 1980s. David Moyle was closely associated with the now defunct Sherbrooke Historical Association.This postcard is significant because of its evocation of the early history of Melbourne's much-loved trams. it is also part of a collection belonging to a community member who had a close association with a local historical society.Photographic print of a Melbourne tramcar circa 1920sdavid moyle, police, emerald, belgrave, tramcar, melbourne, 1920s -
