Public comments
Yes, at depot on corner of Thackeray & Faraday. The building in the background on the right hand side of the photo is that at 2 Faraday St (currently in use as the Napier Army Office). 1936 date is likely correct as this is when the tramway was dismantled & disposed of (although it hadn't run since the earthquake).
