High Street, Fremantle, Western Australia, 1907: A Glance into the Past This evocative photograph captures the bustling High Street in Fremantle, Western Australia, in the year 1907. The scene is filled with a sense of history and the charm of a bygone era. The tramlines running down the middle of the street are a testament to the transportation system that operated along High Street for an impressive 47 years, from 1905 to 1952. The photograph showcases the level crossing gate and the telegraph cables and wires suspended from the utility poles. The gateway, with its warning sign and apron, stands as a reminder of the importance of safety in the early days of transportation. The tram, with its passengers, is stopped at the sign, adding to the sense of anticipation and the hustle and bustle of daily life. The presence of the tramlines, trams, and the various utility installations, such as the telegraph cables and wires, reflect the rapid development and modernization that was taking place in Fremantle during this time. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of this vibrant and historic city in Western Australia. This image is a valuable historical record, and it is a reminder of the rich heritage and the unique character of Fremantle, which continues to attract visitors from around the world.
