Lost Tramways: Manchester South
New Hardback Illustrated
Postscript summary
After the opening of the first tram route in Manchester in 1877 the city’s network grew rapidly – by 1900 some 500 trams were being used to cover 140 miles. This volume traces the lines’ fortunes as the system transformed from horse to electric power, then to trolleybuses in the 1930s, illustrating the story with archive photographs.
