Subject: Gateshead & District 1-10 batch Maker: Electric Railway and Tramway Carriage Works, Preston Truck: Brill 21E Seating: 28 Location: Shipcote, Durham Road? Date: c.1905
Gateshead & District bought a fleet of trams from ER&TCW in 1901 of three different types. 1-10 were combination cars such as this unidentified example. However, the open ends didn't last very long and were enclosed about 1907.
I have been unable to confirm the location but I believe it may be at the junction of Durham Road and Shipcote Lane.
