EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 1960s London. Standing proudly in the spotlight is none other than London Tram number 1858, a true icon of the era. For many years, this magnificent tram graced the grounds of Chessington Zoo, delighting visitors with its vintage charm. However, as time passed and progress took hold, it was decided that this beloved piece of history deserved a new home. In April 1964, London Tram number 1858 embarked on an exciting journey to its new residence at the Tramway Museum Society in Carlton Colville Lowestoft. The image captures this momentous occasion as it was carefully transported through the city streets amidst a sea of curious onlookers. The scene is alive with activity - trams gracefully glide by while lorries navigate their way through traffic. It's a snapshot frozen in time that encapsulates both the beauty and chaos of urban life during this transformative decade. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are reminded not only of our rich transportation heritage but also how society has evolved over time. This image serves as a poignant reminder that even cherished relics must adapt to changing times while still preserving their historical significance. Credit for capturing such an evocative moment goes to Unknown; their lens immortalized an important chapter in London's transport history for generations to come.
