In

each of these views of Holding
Street
,
Beaumaris, looking west from Dalgetty
Road
, there
are private houses with fences on both sides
of the street, but those in the1966
photograph are screened from obvious view by
the roadside vegetation. See also nearby High Street,
which crosses Holding Street
at the far end of this view.

Aerial

views of this part of Beaumaris can be
zoomed into from a high resolution aerial
photograph
taken in January
1951. They show the route, via Holding
Street
, of
the electric tramway that
operated for 5 years from 1926. A plan of
the route is shown on Page 14
of a promotional brochure for the Deauville
Estate. The 1966 photograph shows remnants
of the bitumen road and the gaps, where the
rails for the tramline built 40 years
previously were later removed, were still
evident at the time the photograph was
taken.

See,

from an eastward-looking perspective, the remnant

of the treed Holding Street Road Reserve
that is visible in the distance at the left
of the July 2007 photograph above, and that
was saved from sale by Bayside City Council
in 2004.
