Lonsdale Street, Dandenong, 1902.

Looking down Lonsdale Street, towards Dandenong Park, at the intersection of Lonsdale and Foster streets 123 years ago. In the distance, on the right of the park, you can see Londale Street rising up as it crosses the old stone bridge. On the left you can see the old park gates and fence. 

I have provided a closeup of the gates below.

And the old Stone Bridge.

This photo was taken by Charles Hammond, a well-known photographer who set up a studio in Dandenong in the early 1900s. He would later move to a new studio on Londale Street next the newsagent run by H. Ross. This studio was located at 279 Londale Street.
