Lonsdale Street, Dandenong, 1910.

Looking from near the Foster street intersection towards Walker street and beyond. Long before the clock face was added to the Town Hall. The Bridge Hotel (more recently the Jim Dandy) can be seen on the left.This is before the commonly remembered palm trees had even been though of.

The clock face wouldn't be added to the Town Hall until the 1930s, and Crumps General Stor was still located in its small wooden building. Crumps would later be bought by McEwans, with new buildings being built on the site. Presently Best Way occupies this site, continuing the tradition set by Crump a long time ago, providing a shopping destination on the main street.
