The old Supreme Court building — now the Court of Final Appeal — seen from Des Voeux Road in 1974, with the dome and its blindfolded figure of Justice sitting above a street of trams and delivery tricycles.
What you can see in the photograph
- The dome on its drum, and the granite columns of the portico below.
- Trams passing on the tracks, with the overhead wires running across the frame.
- Three-wheeled goods tricycles parked along the kerb, still doing Central's deliveries.
- The buildings further along Des Voeux Road, low enough that the courthouse still dominates.
