Wires Above South East London

Relive an era when the streets of south east London and north Kent were served by electric trams and trolleybuses. Rare and previously unpublished views illustrate the journey from Woolwich to Gravesend and support Robert Harley's well researched text. Electric trams in the area began as early as 1889 and in the 1930s the trolleybus became popular. These fine vehicles lasted on local routes until March 1959.
