Tomorrow, 21 August, will mark 78 years since the end of the Enfield Tram Service which began in 1891. Trams ‘… were decked with floral tributes, and the last one had so many wreaths on board that there was hardly room to swing a tram ticket.’
The last tram also had billycans and saucepans tied to the back. It was followed by 20 motorcycles and 50 cars in the dark before 300 people ‘celebrated’ at a lively wake in Enfield.

Stay tuned for more transport stories in the Ironbark Gallery’s exhibition Next Stop, Strathfield: Travel Through History from 15 October.
