Gateshead 11-19

Subject: Gateshead & District 11-20 batch
Maker: Electric Railway and Tramway Carriage Works, Preston
Truck: Brill 22E
Seating: 42
Location: Heworth, Sunderland Road?
Date: c.1905

Despite the destination displaying showing Teams I believe this photograph to have been taken at Heworth, but the location has changed a lot since it was taken and appears to be undergoing change at the time of the photograph. The photographer hasn't helped by obscuring some details visible through the central windows.

The tram can't be identified except that the first digit of the fleet number is 1, eliminating the last of the batch as a possibility.

The batch was withdrawn by 1925 but the trucks were salvaged, being used to replace the Milnes ones on trams 46-50 or for new construction.
