Nearly the end at Liverpool
By 1957, the once-great Liverpool tramway system had been reduced to just two routes, the 6A to Bowring Park and the 40 to Page Moss Avenue. These routes finally closed in September. All was in a run-down and dilapidated condition, sad to see. Here is a 'Baby Grand' 4-wheel tram on the Bowring Park route.

Trams approaching Broadgreen Bridge
The last two trams to run on Liverpool's tramway system, the 6A being one of the only two remaining routes. On 14th September 1957 a procession of trams, with Liverpool's official last tram (Baby Grand 293) in the rear, left the Pier Head via the city centre to travel to the terminus at Bowring Park.
