WHAT a photo.

This really takes us back to how we used to live.

The Press letters pages are filling up with complaints about city bus services, but turn back the clock to 1909 and this is how York citizens travelled around the city.

Our photo dates from the final days of the horse-drawn tram in York, around 1909.

The tram is at The Mount tram terminus, which was near Dalton Terrace.

This particular tram car, number seven, was approved and licensed on October 18, 1890 and could hold 16 passengers inside and 18 outside.

Before 1890 all the trams were single decked but after they were extended passengers were required to sit down when approaching Micklegate Bar because of a lack of headroom!

Thanks to City of York Council / Explore York Libraries and Archives for the photo.
