Wellington in the 1930s or '40s - Willis Street

In my possession is a thin book of pictures entitled "VIEWS of WELLINGTON The
Capital City of New Zealand." No date or publisher given, but the pictures date
from the era of WW2. Many are panoramic and a few show trams.
This view looks south up Willis Street and includes five trams: Besides the one
in the foreground, one is turning into Manners Street in the distance, with
another behind it. Beyond that corner are two more - the northbound one looks
as if it might be a Fiducia.
Sign of changing times: the shop at far right (I forgot that the scanner cuts
off a couple of millimetres at the edge of the glass) advertises "Siberian
Furs."
