The first volume in the 'Lost Tramways of Ireland' series features the
history of the Belfast system, including its origins as a horse tramway
in the 1870s, its conversion to electric traction in the early 20th
century, its role in two World Wars, the conversion of the network to
bus and trolleybus operation from the late 1940s and the system's
eventual demise in 1954. Amongst the locations featured are Glengormley,
Greencastle and Bloomfield as well as York Road and Queen's Quay railway
stations.
