The flag on the clock-tower is at half-mast, perhaps commemorating the passing of Mr James Syder (ex-Chairman of Victoria Railways Commissioners) in October of that year.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #003300;\"\u003eOur restoration work on this image has taken many hours to achieve this end result.
