EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a single deck tram making its way through the bustling streets of Burnley, Lancashire, in the early 1900s. The Victorian and Edwardian eras came to life as the horse-drawn carriages gave way to modern transportation, and this photograph beautifully captures the essence of that transformative period. The single deck tram, with its open-air seating and simple elegance, stands in stark contrast to the cobblestone streets and red-brick buildings that line the route. The passengers, dressed in their finest attire, seem to be enjoying the ride as they take in the sights and sounds of the town. Burnley, a mill town in Lancashire, was once a hub of industry and innovation, and the introduction of trams was a significant step towards modernization. The tramway system, which began operation in 1885, played a crucial role in connecting the town's various districts and facilitating the daily commute for its growing population. This photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Burnley and Lancashire. The vintage charm of the single deck tram, with its rustic wooden seats and exposed metalwork, adds to the nostalgic allure of this image.
