The image captures a pivotal moment in history as workmen diligently erect overhead wires along Commercial Road for the electric tram system. Perched atop a towering wagon, these brave men navigate their way through the busy thoroughfare, ensuring that every wire is securely fastened. The scene exudes an air of industriousness and progress, with the unmistakable backdrop of Victorian England. The landscape unfolds before our eyes, revealing rows of elegant buildings lining the road and showcasing architectural marvels from a bygone era.
