The city of Birmingham possessed the country's largest 3ft 6in gauge tramway; although the process of conversion to trolleybus or bus operation commenced in the 1920s - indeed Birmingham was the first operator in Britain to see a tram route converted to trolleybus operation - a significant operation survived into the post-war years and it was not until the summer of 1953 that the final trams operated. - The Lost Tramways of England series documents the tram networks which were at the heart of many of Britain's growing towns and This volume is one of two that recall that era; focusing on the routes to the north of the city centre - to places like Perry Barr, Aston, Erdington and Pype Hayes Park - the book provides a graphic reminder that it is not only the historic trams that have been lost but also the streetscapes through which many of them operated have also largely disappeared.
