Lost Tramways: Birmingham North

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

The network that served Birmingham was one of the largest concentrations of narrow gauge tramways in the country, a system chosen by the Board of Trade to better fit the width of some of the city’s streets. This volume traces the lines’ fortunes in the area north of Hagley Road as the system was transformed from horse power to steam, cable and battery power, and then electric in the 1930s, illustrating the story with archive photographs.
