2 Tramway Avenue

About this Image

Description

Also possibly addressed 160 The Terrace.

The entrance to Tramway Avenue was located at what is today c. 152 The Terrace. After a short distance, the street turned 90 degrees to the south in a 'dog-leg' bend. Its name derived from its close location to what was originally known as the Kelburne Tramway (i.e. the Wellington Cable Car). This short street was excavated out for the construction of the motorway and no trace of it remains.
