View showing tram no.301 at the Dewsbury Road terminus, heading back to the depot. On the left is Percy Cowling, fruiterer, at no.5 Beeston Park Ring Road and on the right no.667 Dewsbury Road. Tram 301 was an experimental tram built by London County Council in 1931-32, the most advanced tramcar built by that authority; no others of its type were ever made. It ran in London for almost 20 years as no.1 before coming to Leeds in 1951, where it served until 1957; it was then returned to the capital to be displayed at the London Transport Collection at Clapham before ending up at the Crich Tramway Museum where it still resides. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Beeston Park Ring Road tram Dewsbury Road | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
