Vintage Stuff: Trams

About Vintage Stuff

The aim of Vintage Stuff is to display some of the ephemera that I have collected, often inadvertently, over the years. I am now deliberately seeking out interesting old adverts, screen shots, leaflets, obscure record covers, picture postcards and illustrations; anything that catches my eye, in fact. They will be mainly, but not exclusively of UK origin (so many vintage blogs appear to be American) and almost always a scan from something that I actually have in my collection, rather than off the net. If you do re-blog, please acknowledge the source. Further stuff, mainly photographs, can be found on my Flickr pages, via the Benny Hill record cover.

Home time

Remembering a time when lines of buses and trams would await home-going workers in industrial towns, Sheffield Corporation trams gather in Bridge Street, outside the works of Gilbow Tool & Steel Co. during the 1950s.

Know your tramway standard!

One item of street furniture now almost extinct is the ornamental tramway standard - that's the pole that kept the wires up. These municipal examples appeared in Tramway Review, Spring 1969, drawn by HG Dibdin.
