Melville Rd 100 years on

The West Coburg tramway opened to West Brunswick in July 1925.

By October it had been extended along Melville Rd as far as Albion St.

Much of that route was a newly created road which supplanted Daly St
(next street to the east) as the main road.

Today's pic shows 2117 on that section with the former Western Theatre
as backdrop.

St John's church moved their focus from Daly St to Melville Rd by
building a new church, opening in 1930.
