1880s Collins Street looking eastA delicate photograph of Collins Street from around 1880. All of the shops are closed and secured, the clock on the Town Hall says 3: 20pm, and it is probably Sunday afternoon, judging by the lack of people. The footpaths and roads are wet from an afternoon shower. We see the Town Hall clock tower, with Scots' Church spire behind it. The tower of the Independent Church is hidden behind the Scots' Church spire. The church on the right is St. Enoch's
