Cnr Penshurst Street & Victoria Avenue, North Willoughby
On 25 April 1898, the Willoughby tram service was officially opened as an extension of the North Sydney network that had operated since 1886. The new route ran from Falcon Street, Crows Nest, along Willoughby Road, Mowbray Road and up Penshurst Street to the Terminus near Victoria Avenue. Public demand was great, and in 1908 the line was extended to Chatswood Railway Station, with trams travelling down Victoria Avenue every 20 minutes. The line was duplicated from Crows Nest to the Terminus in 1911.The final stage of line duplication to Chatswood Railway Station was completed in 1934. In the 1950s Sydney’s tram network was gradually wound down, and the Terminus was closed on 28 June 1958.
