Another magnificent photo from Noel - just in the nick of time one day before the closure? The quality of Noel's photography is first class and the prints are so clear after more than 56 years. Notice the B.A.L.M (British Australian Lead Manufacturers) paint sign on the southern side of Parramatta Road. I wonder of B.A.L.M produced lead for tram enthusiasts' pencils? There is also a preponderance of British cars in the picture. What are the two models waiting for 2058 to make its turn?
