EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene of Durban's West Street in 1915, as an electric tram ascends the hill from Beach Road. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the daily life of this vibrant South African city during its early 20th century heyday. The tram, a symbol of modernity and progress, is surrounded by a diverse mix of architecture and activity. On the left, the tram tracks lead down towards the beach, where the blue waters of the Indian Ocean can be seen in the distance. The tram's ascent up West Street is marked by the steep incline and the wires overhead, a testament to the engineering feats of the time. On the right side of the street, a bakery with a distinctive red awning can be seen. The smell of freshly baked bread wafts through the air, drawing in passersby. The bakery, with its simple yet inviting facade, adds to the sense of community and commerce that thrived in Durban during this era. The photograph also reveals the rich tapestry of Durban's population, with people of various races and ethnicities going about their daily business. The scene is one of activity and energy, with horse-drawn carts, bicycles, and automobiles all jostling for space on the narrow streets. This photograph is a precious reminder of Durban's past, offering a glimpse into a time when the city was at the height of its industrial and commercial growth. It is a testament to the resilience and vibrancy of Durban's people, and the enduring allure of this beautiful coastal city.
