Physical description

Set of seven Black and white photographs of the arrangements and work for the track reconstruction at the intersection of Hoddle St/Punt Rd and Bridge Road Richmond late 1965. On Kodak paper.

1420.1 - Bridge Road looking east at River St. crossover (Hawthorn bridge in distant background). Tram-bus connection at a weekend. Note driver's uniform. Conductor walking to bus with passengers. Conductors often worked through on the bus and next tram at this time to save crews.

1420.2 - Bridge Road at Punt Rd and Hoddle St. intersection looking north west. Reconstruction of curves. Would probably be a Sunday given that new rails are in situ.

1420.3 - Ditto - looking south east

1420.4 - looking south east

1420.5 - looking east - replacement bus service passing with old cable winding house in the background. Concrete being placed.

1420.6 - Wellington Parade at Simpson St. crossover looking east. Bus-tram connection. Bus 542 and tram 966 (Kew Depot)

1420.7 - ditto - bus 570 and tram 850 (Camberwell).
