Dr Neil Clifton's photograph was taken Tuesday, 24 August, 1993 and shows trams near the Cabin. Two 'Balloon' cars are coming southwards, while in the distance, a 'Boat' car is on the northbound track.
At that time the tramlines shared the road with other traffic. Note the position of the bus stops.
My own photograph was taken Monday, 8 April, 2013. The road has been reclaimed and a #12 bus en route to the Pleasure Beach can be seen on the right. The tramlines have been moved to a dedicated track on the left and a new tramstop erected to serve the Cliffs Hotel.

ReplyDeleteThe tram seemed so civilised

Love a then and now photo, and trams. They both look to be taken on quiet days.
