Description: | A busy scene in Dudley Street close to the the junction with Drayton Street (left). The workmen, using what appears to be early welding equipment, are repairing one of the tram lines from the Lorain tram system. The trams were supplied with electricity by boxes set into the road (before later being supplied from overhead wires). This looks to be dangerous work as there appear to be no warning signs placed on the road for the trams. The No. 16 tram appears to be on the Snow Hill route. It also provides effective advertising for Rodens Pianos of Wolverhampton. Note that at this time, horse-drawn transport was still being used alongside powered vehicles. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Archives | Subjects: | Photograph Photographs Buildings Streets | Temporal: | [Early 20th cent] | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
