The photo reverse is initialled by the photographer and negative owner 'ADP' (A. D. Packer - David Packer).
This was the 4th car to carry No. 218, originally being built carrying No. 3 in 1925 by BCPT as a balcony car running on a EE 21E truck. In 1939 the 3rd 218 was withdrawn, its truck, equipment, and upper deck seats going to No. 3 which was renumbered as the 4th No. 218. In early 1950 it was withdrawn from service, the parts of the Bradford tramways system that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to trolleybus/bus operation closing in May of that year.
If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. Thanks.
