EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Trams and buses in Burnley, Lancashire, England, taken in the year 1936. This vintage image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the transportation scene during the Edwardian and early Victorian eras. The photograph was captured on St. James Street, a bustling thoroughfare in Burnley, where trams and buses coexisted, providing essential mobility for the town's residents. The trams, with their distinctive design and vintage charm, are a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the era. Their wooden bodies and overhead wires are a stark contrast to the more modern, streamlined buses that can be seen in the background. The trams, with their open sides and seating along the sides, offer a glimpse into the daily lives of the people of Burnley. Passengers, dressed in their best Edwardian attire, can be seen boarding and alighting, while others wait patiently on the pavement. The buses, with their enclosed bodies and separate entrances for paying passengers, represent the evolution of public transportation. The photograph also reveals the architectural beauty of Burnley, with its well-preserved buildings and cobblestone streets. The scene is completed by the presence of a horse-drawn cart, a reminder of the transportation methods that came before the advent of trams and buses. This photograph is a treasure trove of history, offering a unique perspective into the transportation landscape of Burnley during the 1930s. It is a must-have for anyone with an interest in vintage transportation, history, or the social and cultural aspects of the past.
