Synopsis
Fascinating history of the tramways that once enabled workers to move quickly and cheaply between industrialized areas and their homes. The book traces the origin of street tramways and their progress from horse traction to various types of mechanization: steam, compressed air, battery, cable, electric and even clockwork. Eventually electric traction carried the day and led to a period of brisk development. However, this golden age of prosperity was brief before being eclipsed by the motor bus, trolley bus and automobile. Includes invaluable list giving dates for abandonments in the UK. With extensive bibliography and appendices. 327 pages with index.
