Book excerpt: By the latter half of the nineteenth century industrial expansion had made Belfast the fastest growing town in the UK. Suburb after suburb sprang up to house the workers for new industries such as shipbuilding, machine manufacturing and linen production, and to service these new areas it soon became clear that transport was needed to take these workers to their places of employment. At first horse-trams were used with a number of different companies in operation, but in 1905 the entire system was taken over by the Belfast Corporation and electrified. The book takes up the story from there and provides a history of the system until the last trams were replaced by motor buses in 1954. Fifty-four period photographs are included - many very rare - showing the city in the days when streets were empty of traffic except for trams and horse-drawn vehicles. The photographs also showcase the changes that have taken place to the city's architecture over the years and show many long-departed buildings - such as the old LMS railway station and Robb's five-storey department store.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second volume in the Lost Tramways series to feature Ireland, the history of the trams that served Dublin and its environs are recalled. Although dominated by the system of Dublin itself, there were no fewer than three other tramways that served the area - the Dublin & Blessington, the Dublin & Lucan and the GNR(I)-owned Hill of Howth - that all had a fascinating history, with the Hill of Howth ultimately becoming the last first generation tramway to operate on the island of Ireland. Locations featured include: Farnworth, Dunscar, Tonge, Horwich, Halliwell, Montserrat, Bury, Huyton, Prescot, Worsley and Leigh. The Lost Tramways series documents the tram networks which were at the heart of many of Britain's growing towns and cities from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century. An informative, accessible and portable resource for the tram enthusiast as well as the general reader, and a superb souvenir or gift for visitors past and present.
