Lost Tramways of England: Leeds West is the first 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 final routes in November 1959. This
volume examines in detail the early history of the tramways on the
city's western side. - The Lost Tramways of England series documents the
tram networks which were at the heart of many of Britain's growing towns
and cities from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century. -
Transport expert Peter Waller, author of numerous works on the regional
tram systems of the UK, guides the reader along the route of the network
and discusses its key features stop by stop. - As well as rigorously
detailed transport history, these volumes provide an intimate glimpse
into life as it was lived during this period, and the recognisable
streets which have been maintained or transformed through the decades. -
An informative, accessible and portable resource for the tram enthusiast
as well as the general reader, and a superb souvenir or gift for
visitors past and present. - Photo illustrated throughout, including
many archive images which are appearing in print for the first time.
