The first photo was taken in 1959 at the top of William Street showing Darlinghurst Road on the left and Bayswater Road intersecting not far from it. The building with "Time for a Capstan [cigarette]" on the top still exists, but the others have since been replaced.
The second, taken only 50 or so metres to the left, dates from 1960 and gives a clear view of Bayswater Road with a tram having entered the intersection that has come from Rushcutters Bay. (Alistair Paterson pics)
