About the Book

The Tramways of Wolverhampton traces the history of the Wolverhampton tramway system from its earliest horse-drawn beginnings in 1878, through the subsequent electrification of the routes in the early 1900s, with the controversial decision to use a system that proved to be unique to the town (and indeed the world), resulting in the town having to endure route isolation from other tramway operators until the eventual, and somewhat inevitable, wholesale conversion to the more conventional form of overhead wire operation in 1921. The gradual contraction of the system and change to trolleybuses between 1923 and 1928 is also covered in detail. The continual political battle fought over the years with the British Electric Traction Company Limited tramway empire, whose various companies effectively surrounded Wolverhampton, has not been ignored, and there are fascinating insights into the daily life of the systems, in particular the Wolverhampton District Electric Tramways Company and Kinver Light Railway.

About the Author :
The author, who was born in 1947, has been a keen transport historian and researcher for many years. Though currently living in Wellington, Shropshire, Eric spent his formative years in Wolverhampton, later becoming a member of the Transport Group at the Black Country Living Museum, where several of the tramcars that once plied our streets can now be seen in regular operation.
