Lost Tramways of England: Leeds East is the second of two volumes in the
series covering the history of trams in the city, from their origins in
the late 19th century through to the conversion of the final routes in
November 1959. This volume examines in detail the later history of the
system from the outbreak of war in September 1939 through the
developments of the 1940s to the period of conversion from the early
1950s, as well as concentrating on routes that served the eastern side
of the city, such as those to Temple Newsam, Middleton, Gipton and
Hunslet.
