Hello Members,
I would like some one to find the photograph of a Tram that was enclosed with the e. mail to me this morning. I simply can not do it. I would be very much obliged. Regards volvo jack.

Dear John
Thank you for your message – I apologise for the lengthy delay in replying caused by the closure of the Museum during lockdown.
I have attached a photograph of the Leeds tramcar which I think is the one that you used to travel on. If you would like a print please can you let me know the size you require and I will be able to give you the correct price.
The trams were Leeds Corporation Balcony Cars which were built by the Corporation between 1908 and 1923 and were in service until the 1940s. Some of the trams were later enclosed so that the outside balcony became part of the upper cabin. We have Leeds 345 in our collection at Crich and this is an example of a tram that originally had a balcony but was later enclosed – you may even have travelled on it as a child!
I hope this has been of interest.
Kind regards

In the 1940s my Brother and i used to travel to school and back in Leeds by tram. The one we loved the most was the one with a front and back separate from the main cabin on the upper deck. not many braved this in the winter but as kids we loved it. Sadly my brother has passed away but i intend to visit your museum as soon as the situation improves. Is it possible that i could purchase a photograph of this car and would you also let me know the model number and name. we had many enjoyable rides on tram cars until Leeds decided to go over to buses which i guess were a move with the times.
Apologies for rambling on Kind Regards John Daly.
