View of a Kitson steam tram to Wortley. A number 9 is painted on the side. It is pulling a car with 'Boar Lane & Wortley' on the side. A steam tram could make this journey in 20 minutes. They first came into operation in Leeds in May 1891 on the Sheepscar-Oakwood route. Number 59 is painted on the tram car and there is advertising displayed for Pygmalion in Boar Lane 'The most complete general drapers & house furnishers in Yorkshire.' This was a huge department store known as the 'Grand Pygmalion'. The site was later occupied by C & A but is presently being redeveloped as part of 'Trinity Leeds'. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Kitson Steam Tram Boar Lane Grand Pygmalion | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
