Historical information

Photograph looks southward along St Kilda Road from its intersection with City Road and Alexander Avenue, but trees obscure the view towards the Shrine of Remembrance, which may be under construction (1927-34). Tram rails and overhead can be seen turning from St Kilda Road into City Road. Several W class trams and a tramways Thornycroft "J" bus can be seen. The bus appears to be broken down with the bonnet raised with at least two employees standing beside the vehicle. Two policemen in white helmets stand in the intersection controlling traffic.
