Reading Corporation Tramways. The newly-laid cross-over in the middle of Broad Street, c. 1901. The tram-lines to the west are not yet in place, and no cobble-stones are laid. There are several onlookers, and traffic is able to move to the left and right of the tracks. To the left can be seen No. 39 (Farrer and Sons, newsagents, stationers and booksellers), and No. 38 (Ebenezer Hill, leather warehouse). The buildings beyond are surrounded by advertisement hoardings and are about to be demolished to create Queen Victoria Street. On the right, No. 102 is undergoing building work (Arthur Harris, pastrycook and confectioner). 1900-1909
