Book Description
With the twentieth century arrived the first electric tramcars in London. Thirty years later the first trolley buses arrived - along with a fleet of new trams that were the most modern of their day. This era was one of rapid change, rich in achievement adn personalities. Among the more colourful of the undertakings involved was London United, which introduced the first public service of electric tramcars in 1901 adn became one of the predecessors of the present London Transport. This is a study of this eventful period, relating the development of the tramway and trolleybus system to the changing social background. It contains a wealth of hitherto unpublished material, both factual and anecdotal, taken from contemporary newspaper and other accounts, and a remarkable collection of illustrations - 48 pages in all. It should be of interest not only to the transport enthusiast but also to the general reader interested in social history. This book was first published in 1971.

Book Description
Once the largest tramway network in the British Isles, London's tramways had belonged to a range of operators until the London Passenger Transport Board was created in July 1933, and this resulted in a great variety of tramcars being operated in the Metropolis. This is one of four volumes to cover the history of electric tramcar operation in the city. Once stretching as far east as Dartford, much of the network south-east of the River Thames survived World War II and remained operational until conversion commenced in 1950. Locations featured include: - Abbey Wood- Beresford Square, Woolwich- Bermondsey- Bexleyheath- Blackfriars Road- Blackwall Tunnel- Bricklayers Arms- Camberwell Green- Catford- Dartford Hospital- Deptford- Dog Kennel Hill- East Dulwich Road- Elephant & Castle- Eltham Church- Eltham Hill- Erith- Forest Hill- Goose Green- Greenwich- Grove Park Brockley- Horns Cross- Lewisham Clock Tower- Penhall Road- Plumstead- Southwark Bridge- Tooley Street- Tower Bridge Road- Woolwich
