Isn't this about the same, modern day view?

Re: [TramsDownUnder] Re: A puzzle for you

Mal,
Like Peter Homann, I kept coming back to North Adelaide.  On
exploring the State Library of South Australia (SLSA) I found a
photo https://collections.slsa.sa.gov.au/resource/PRG+631/2/470 [2]
which confirms Peter's suggestions re flipping and location.  I
attach 3 images:

* the original puzzle photo by John Henry Hervey flipped horizontally

* the photo in the SLSA collection by Ernest Gall taken c.1895 and
entitled Poole Street, North Adelaide. (Poole St is now part of King
William Road)

* an extract map of North Adelaide from Gregory's 1936 street
directory where the red circle indicates the approximate location of
JHH's photo. 

In the flipped JHH photo, the street going down the hill is part of
Brougham Place which encompasses Brougham Gardens, the tram tracks are
in King William Road, the brick wall is the northern boundary of the
Children's Hospital and the brick building is a side wing of the
hospital.

In the SLSA Gall photo, the camera position for the JHH photo would be
to the right out of shot inside the curve of the tram tracks.  The
building to the right of the brick building is the Angas Building
which was opened in 1893.  This building was out of shot in the JHH
photo.  The road to the leftin the Gall photo (also shown in the map
heading NE towards Stanley St) no longer exists.

The map shows the electric tram lines that passed through North
Adelaide, the Walkerville line along Sir Edwin Smith Ave,  and the
other lines along King William and O'Connell St, with the
Kilkenny/Cheltenham line branching off along Ward St and the Prospect
and Enfield lines splitting at the north end of O'Connell St.  The S
bend in King William Rd between the hospital and O'Connell St dates
from 1874 when the horse tramway to North Adelaide was constructed
across Brougham Gardens.

I will post some more photos from the SLSA collection and also some
present day shots from the location in further posts.

I posted a message on facebook and got the following response from
Peter Homann:

"I keep coming back to North Adelaide somewhere. I've tried flipping
the image, and it could be King William Rd, looking down Brougham
Place, with the current Womens and Childrens Hospital site at right
(of the flipped image), but I'm not convinced."

Peter Homann's suggestion via facebook is shown in a Google
Streetview at:
https://tinyurl.com/yb5kk4j4 [3]

It lines up pretty well with a mirrored version of the old picture in
terms of 'lie of the land'.

Mal Rowe - glad to have help
