AKADOK Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Sorry for the delayed response, I've just seen this. The Tramcar was still in existence and trading at least into the seventies. There are a few pictures of it in various books. Can't remember off hand which books but I can find out if you want to get hold of some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minusten Posted May 6, 2007 Author Share Posted May 6, 2007 Hi, Cheers for that would appreciate it if you could find out the book titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carsupplier Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Hi, Cheers for that would appreciate it if you could find out the book titles. If it saves AKADOK searching, I have found one book that has a couple of pictures of the 'Tram Car' in it (both the same but one a close up), It is 'Where Sparrows Coughed', the author was; Frank Hartley and it was published by; Sheaf Publishing, the book I have was printed around 1988 so I don't know if it will still be in print.

martss Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 I have a book called "101 Pictures Of Lost Sheffield Pubs". The page for The Tramcar has one picture and the following text "The Tramcar - 851 Attercliffe Road, a well known pub and appropriately named as Sheffield had the finest electric tram system in the world" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKADOK Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 They sound like the ones I have. The Lost Pubs one is by JP Turley. Both are dead good, but might now be out of print. If you can't find either one minusten, drop us a PM with your postal address and I'll sort you out with one or the other, free and for nowt.
