The interior of number 1. The wooden bench seats would have been more practical in this era when pithead baths were very unusual, whilst the curtains are surprising at this late date.
About 1927 four trams were reseated with transverse seats in 2 + 1 configuration - this brought the seating capacity down to 31.
