Cable tram at the corner of Market Street and Flinders Street, bound for South Melbourne Beach, C.1900

This line was well patronised by beachgoers on Sundays and warm summer evenings and by shoppers and workers during the week. Some of its route into the city was shared with the Port Melbourne line.

The building at the right still stands at this corner and the men in the foreground may be horse cab drivers awaiting a fare.
