Nos. 175 – 182, Western Road, in December 1927.
The photograph is interesting because it shows the effect of an earlier attempt at road widening, carried out between 1900-1910. Only a very short distance of roadway fronting Nos.179 to 185 was affected, and even this widening was considered insufficient when the new building line was established.
Note the old Golden Cross public house, No. 175, Johnson Bros.’ three shops, and the popular Cave’s Oriental café.
