This photograph of the summer of 1959 provides an interesting contrast to that on the previous page. Both were taken from the same area, roughly the corner of King Street. All the widening has taken place on the north side of the street, some during the 1930s. Opposite, most of the facades are little changed and the popular Joseph Lyons’ restaurant is still there though sadly it was to go later, in January 1975. At the top of the street, the bottleneck beyond Windsor Street was to endure for another 20 years, until removal in 1979.
