Description: | A Wolverhampton Corporation Transport double-decker trolleybus (No. 33), at Cleveland Road depot. The trolleybus was a Guy 'BTX' built in 1926, with a Dodson body. The photograph was most likely to have been taken in the 1920s - the same decade that the converted tramway officially opened (on October 29, 1923). Note the connection rods on the roof that make contact with the overhead lines. The Wolverhampton coat of arms can be seen on the side of the trolleybus, along with the name of the General Manager Charles Owen Silvers (manager from 1915 to 1949). Note also, the tramlines in the right foreground which are a reminder of when the earlier trams used the Lorain Surface Contact System. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton City Council | Subjects: | Photograph Public transport Motor vehicle industry Trolley buses | Temporal: | [1920s] | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
