Devonport Tramway Walk

Alison's Corner

Auckland, Auckland 0622, New Zealand

Created By: Auckland Council

Information

The only difficult curve on the line was at Alison’s Corner, where tramcars turned up Cheltenham Road. During construction, the tramway company had to recall its engineers to install a wider curve, a task that resulted in a lawsuit when the company failed to pay for the extra work. This section was also the worst maintained since the track ran down the middle of the road and travellers rode their omnibuses, wagons, and horses over it without concern.

Turn left up Cheltenham Road.
