Kabwe (Broken Hill) Photographs

From Great North Road

Pumps.

There were two petrol pumps, situated at both ends of Broken Hill, where itinerants (Kit-Wee'uns etc from the North, and Lusakakan from the South) were permitted to fill their cars on their wanderings. The photo shows one of these garages. Most itinerants thought this was Broken Hill's main street.

Broadway.

Meanwhile, all Broken Hillians knew that Broadway was the Main Street.

Big Tree.

This is the famous "Big Tree" in Broken Hill. Every Christmas saw it bedecked with Christmas lights.

Clayton Park.

This is Clayton Park in Broken Hill.

All photographs were taken in 1966

Broadway taken from D.H. Patel's steps looking toward Holdsworth's Chemist, The Big Tree and if you look carefully' you can just make out the goods train on the far right. The picture was taken in 1964.
