This 1983 photograph shows Upper Cross Street, from Cross Street/ South Bridge Road junction. To the left are rows of shophouses, with high-rise commercial buildings further along Upper Cross Street. After land reclamation in 1881, the original Cross Street was renamed to Upper Cross Street (while the extended street was named Cross Street). Title devised by Library staff.
