Description

Trams in West Bromwich explores the history of tram services in West Bromwich and its surrounding areas. From 1883, when double-deck steam trams began operating from Handsworth to Wednesbury, until their eventual closure in 1939, David Harvey examines the development of these services through photographs from his collection. The book focuses on the Birmingham & Midland Tramways Company's routes, which included services between Bromford Lane and Spon Lane, as well as the Birmingham to Dudley service via Smethwick and Oldbury. These routes formed the backbone of the tram network in West Bromwich, which was eventually abandoned due to the outbreak of World War II. By examining these photographs, Harvey provides a unique insight into the history of tram services in the region, shedding light on a often-overlooked aspect of local transport history.
