Bits Still Left
| Ferry
Lane, near Tottenham Hale
station, with trolleybus traction standards still in place. There are
three on one side of the road, with one opposite the one nearest. The
bus in the picture is East London 17876 on route 230. 31 August 2009. Photograph. John King. |
| An inspection cover, probably to
give access to the underground electricity supply cables. This one
shows it is for CROYDON CORPORATION ELECTRIC TRAMWAYS. It is in the
vicinity of West Croydon. 11 August 2009. Photograph. John King. |
| The old tram shelter at South
End Green, Hampstead has recently been refurbished. A Hampstead
resident donated the hut at the turn of the last century. This was to
provide shelter to the tram drivers who in those days drove their trams
with open fronts in all weathers. 3 June 2006. Photograph. John King. |
| This cover is embossed with
LONDON COUNTY COUNCIL TRAMWAYS. It also has the makers name Reid
Brothers London. This one is at Abbey Wood. 15 August 2009. Photograph. John King. |
| Seen in the back streets of
Stratford, East London is this London Transport section box of the type
used on their trolleybus routes.Although distant from the actual
trolleybus routes this may be on a short cut for the cable to get to
Stratford. 22 April 2005. Photograph. John King. |
| Another London Transport section
box, this one is in the back streets near West Ham Station. Again not
on a trolleybus or bus route. 27 March 2010. Photograph. John King. |
| Probably one of the best known
of all the former tramway relics is the Northern portal of the tram
subway under Aldwych and Kingsway. The Southern portal is on the
Embankment under Waterloo Bridge. Part of the actual tunnel is now used
as the Strand Underpass. 27 September 2003. Photograph. John King. |
