Currie Street, Adelaide (1903)
Currie Street is shown in Adelaide at the beginning of the 20th century.
The street was already an important commercial route through the city.
Horse-drawn vehicles were still the main form of transport in this period.
Businesses and offices lined the busy streets of central Adelaide.
The scene captures Adelaide before motor traffic became dominant.
Street activity would have included traders, workers, pedestrians and delivery vehicles.
The architecture reflects the character of Adelaide in the early 1900s.
This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into everyday city life more than a century ago.
