This 1949 photo shows the intersection of Johnston and Brunswick Streets. What was the Solway mens’ clothing store on the left is now a convenience store, but the Provincial hotel is still the Provincial hotel. The ‘clock’ style traffic control signal at the intersection was new at the time.

I think they were called Marshalite traffic signs, I think there are some at Melbourne Museum now.
