Stanstead Road, possibly 1930s |
This is the scan of a photograph rather than a postcard. The tramline existed from about 1913 to 1951, and I am guesstimating this picture as about the 1930s based on the style of cars - I have no real idea of date.
I love that the car on the left appears to be on the wrong side of the road and the cyclist is swerving to pass it. I hope he made it!
The modern day picture shows that the Blythe Hill Hotel has become the Blythe Hill Tavern and public transport is still toiling the route - buses ironically being the very reason for the demise of the trams in 1951.
