Prior to 1932, that part of Gilbert Road between Murray Road and Miller Street was named Elizabeth Street.

Elizabeth Street West Preston? Not Gilbert Road? 

Ron Stux now in Florida, but still remembers where the No. 11 ran (at least in the 1950's and on)

First attached pic is from the collection of Len Millar and shows what
the West Preston line looked like when built.

Second pic is from the collection of Melbourne Tram Museum and shows
what the tramway to Essendon Aerodrome looked when built in 1942.  It is
from the camera of Peter Duckett.

Mal Rowe noting the cattle grid under construction in the foreground of
the 'drome pic- to keep wandering stock off the tramway.
