Description: | 9th July 1906.
One of the first tramcars from Leeds to Rodley at 5.30am. The number of the tram, 155, is on the front and staff at the Leeds depot are gathered around the tram track which had been laid by unemployed labour. Due to the severe gradient on the route, at Whitecote Hill, there was a speed limit of 4mph in place on this stretch. The photograph is taken outside the Owl public House which is at the junction of Rodley Lane and Bagley Lane in Rodley. The driver's name is stated on the photograph as W. Booth and the conductor was W. Greenfield. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Tram | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
