Lost Tramways of England

Book excerpt: Once the largest tramway network in the British Isles, the tramways had belonged to a range of operators until the London Passenger Transport Board was created in July 1933. This resulted in a great variety of tramcars operated in the Metropolis. This is one of four volumes to cover London; the routes to the northeast, were the result of network developments by a number of local authorities and converted to trolleybus operation leading up to 1940.Locations featured include: - Algate - Bow- Barking- Barkingside- Beckham- Canning Town- Chadwell Heath - Chingford Mount - Dalston - East Ham- Edmonton- Enfield- Ferry Lane - Hackney - Higham Hill- Ilford- Leyton - Liverpool Street- London Docks - Plaistow- Ponders End- Poplar - Royal Albert Docks- Stamford Hill- Shoreditch - Stepney - Victoria & Albert Docks- Waltham Cross- Wanstead Park- West Ham- West India Docks - Whitechapel - Whipps Cross- Woodford
