Tinakori Road tram terminus 1905

A postcard from 1905 showing a recently introduced electric tram outside one of the entrances to the Wellington Botanic Gardens at the top of Tinakori Road in Thorndon, at the point where it becomes Glenmore Street. Although trams stopped going up here on their way to Karori and Northland in 1954, trolleybuses continue to be used today. The brick waiting shelter is still there.
