Leeds scrap trams @ Lowfields Rd.
An old photograph of Leeds City Tramways (LCT) 'Chamberlain' tram No. 7 (and two unidentified others) in the Lowfields Road Permanent Way Yard (scrapyard) near Elland Road football ground.
The photo reverse is stamped with the photographer (and/or negative owner) name of Robert F. Mack (Bob Mack).
No. 7 was a fully enclosed 'Chamberlain' class car built by Brush seating 26/46 and running on a 4 wheel EMB Pivotal type J truck. It was first in service Aug 1926, was retrucked with a Peckham P35 Sep 1946, had upholstered seats fitted sometime between Jul 1935 - Dec 1938, was reupholstered again in Jan 1953 in 'red rexine', and was withdrawn from service Jul 1956, being burned at Lowfields Road Permanent Way Yard in the November.
The parts of the Leeds tramways systems that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to bus operation closed in Nov 1959.
