Windback Wednesday - Former Tram Poles, Glynburn Road

Along Glynburn Road there are remnants of former tram poles from the original electric tramline which ran along Glynburn Road to the Burnside terminus at Waterfall Terrace. This line was opened in September 1911. After the conversion of tram lines to bus routes in the 1920s, many poles were converted to use as supports for electrical wires. None of these poles are fully intact but are a significant reminder of the early transportation routes through the suburb.

Pictured is what may be the Burnside terminus at what is now the Glynburn Road/Waterfall Terrace intersection.
