Blackpool Tram 634 in Lord Street
The buildings behind can be seen in much later views Image and Image - since 1980 they have been whitewashed and the modern street light replaced by a retro-styled one.
Car 634 was withdrawn from service in 2004 and is now being restored at Rushden
Transport Museum. http://www.rhts.co.uk/Blackpooltram.htm I photographed it in a very different livery in 1998 Image

Ash Street tram stop, Fleetwood ? 1967
This was the southern end of the street tramway section through Fleetwood, with a tram about to enter the reserved track through Cleveleys to Blackpool and Starr Gate. The fine shelter had disappeared by the time Dr Clifton took his views at the location https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1615923 in 1985, together with the distinctive circular enamel tram stop sign. The replacement stop is now named Fisherman's Walk.
The tram is one of the 25 'Coronation' cars built by Charles Roberts of Wakefield in 1952/53, a type which proved to be one of Blackpool's less successful purchases, being very heavy, and having 'Vambac' control equipment which proved both heavy on current and unreliable. Most were subsequently fitted with conventional controllers from withdrawn vehicles. It is seen here in the later livery with green roof. Originally the livery was overall cream with just the waistband in green.
