365B

Subject: Upper Douglas Cable Tramway 69
Maker: United Electric Car Company, Preston
Location: Preston, Albert Edward Dock
Date: c.1907

Nearly all the rolling stock for this line was built by Milnes, however 69 was one of two built by UEC and is seen being loaded onto the SS Thursby.

The route lettering on the upper panels leaves a slight puzzle, as operation from Ballaquayle to Broadway stopped in 1902, before this tram was built. Stanley View was not referred to on most other vehicles on the line.

The crane was built by Tannett Walker and Co at the Goodman Street works in Hunslet, Leeds. Tannett Walker went into liquidation in 1913.
