A post-war view of the Marton Tram Depot on Whitegate Drive in Marton. Today a Tesco petrol station sits on the site but the properties next door are still easily recognisable.

LT trams, MET 130 (LT 2466) & LT 2427 (MET 95) by Frederick McLean Via Flickr: An old photograph taken at Hendon Depot in 1934 of London Transport (LT) trams No. 130 and No. 2427, showing '66 - Canons Park' and '66 - Edgware' destination blinds respectively. It would appear this only being the year after London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB) took over local tramways companies that the renumbering of trams had not finished. The rear tram is showing it's new LT number, but the front tram still shows it's old Metropolitan Electric Tramways (MET) number. The photo reverse is annotated with "type A, Hendon Depot, 1934", and stamped with the photographer and/or negative owner name of D. W. K. Jones. Both were MET 'A' class open top unvestibuled cars built in 1904 by Brush seating 32/38, each ran on a pair of Brush BB maximum traction bogies. They had top covers fitted in 1928/9, one source says they were 'reconstructed' at this time but I cannot find that mentioned elsewhere. Their ownership changed from MET to the LPTB in 1933, No. 130 was renumbered as LT No. 2466 (still showing its old number in this photo), and No. 95 being renumbered as LT No. 2427. No. 2466 was withdrawn Dec 1935 and No. 2427 in Jan 1936, both were disposed of (broken up or sold) at the LT Hampstead Depot. The parts of the London tramways system that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to trolleybus/bus operation closed in Jul 1952. If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. Thanks. 📷 Any photograph I post on Flickr is an original in my possession, nothing is ever copied/downloaded from another location. 📷 -------------------------------------------------

Deposito Tram

Tram Depot

There's something magical about that thing of the sunset at its best in mundane settings. This was the Malvern tram depot, with a mess of tram lines tangling in it. All along our ride, people were craning to try and get a shot as we crossed East-West streets and got a good view of it. People were stopped on street corners to enjoy it. Beauty had come to us and we were entranced.

In Glasgow on September 4th 1962 tears were shed and emotions ran high as the last trams, which had served the city for 90 years, rolled through the streets for the final time.

An estimated 250,000 people took to the streets to bid farewell to Glasgow's last tram which rolled into the depot for the final time on this day 57 years ago.

It was an emotional day as the era of the "caurs" came to an end with one commentator claiming there was a impending sense of loss, of desolation in the air. Many of those gathered ducked down to place a penny on the tracks so it would be squashed by the approaching tram to leave a unique souvenir of the day.

A huge crowd watched the trams enter the Coplawhill Car Works, where they had been made and maintained by armies of workers for more than 90 years. There wasn't a dry eye at the depot.

Glasgow was the last city in the UK to retain its tram system, apart from Blackpool which kept a tram rolling on the seafront.

By 1947, there were more than 1,200 trams criss-crossing the city with the Glasgow pioneering the design of new, modern vehicles. In 1953, the decision was taken not to replace part of the ageing fleet with buses, this regarded as the beginning of the end for the service. The internal combustion engine was viewed as the future with motorbuses powered by diesel - as well as a growing train network - keeping the city moving.

There is a short video here about the trams demise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CjxHXZnTcM

The aftermath of a Tram accident, Thursday 18th April 1946. An early morning "Workman's" Tram gathered speed down Grand Depot Road following a brake failure and derailed at a crossover and plunged into the Co-op in Woolwich New Road. Four people received minor injuries.

The Workman's Tram was introduced by the London County Council when that body ran the most of London's Trams. They were early morning Trams which catered for factory workers at cheaper fare rates. It was also designed to encourage workers to move out of the inner city to the suburbs where social and private development was increasing.

The Last Post Pub Longton

Interesting building, which is connected to the last post pub longton, by a connection structure.

I am guessing at one time or other that this was built for another purpose, such as a fire station,tram depot or statables for horse-drawn mail vehicles, as the pub it is connected to is called the last post.

The main part of the pub was once the post office, so with this in mind, the idea that the building pictured below was part of the post office or statables for mail horses could be the more plausible use of the building.
