The exact spot was originally a roadway and the tramways office was just a few yards away, with shelters attached to it all the way round. See <a href="http://is.gd/5fOq4" rel="nofollow">archive photo</a>.<br /><br />The shelter is identical in style to the longer one in Hyde, which the Tameside Image Archive caption as a "Victorian Style Tram Shelter". If the shelter is a genuine Victorian one then it would seem to have been moved from somewhere else, which would have upset people.<br /><br />Looking forward to hearing from anyone who knows for sure.Martin (Ashton-under-Lyne)http://ashton-under-lyne.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488915945983500085.post-38750567933589081052009-12-08T08:58:03.494+00:002009-12-08T08:58:03.494+00:00So profound as Christmas approaches!So profound as Christmas approaches!mrsnesbitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16882736507772457598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488915945983500085.post-82687199127482809162009-12-08T07:44:42.235+00:002009-12-08T07:44:42.235+00:00Surely the shelter was originally a tram stop, was...Surely the shelter was originally a tram stop, was it not?Gerald (SK14)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18308693910074268386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488915945983500085.post-54262158900091315402009-12-08T00:58:38.346+00:002009-12-08T00:58:38.346+00:00Interesting night shot...Interesting night shot...Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06255193476024745869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488915945983500085.post-26620996573212265892009-12-08T00:34:54.689+00:002009-12-08T00:34:54.689+00:00Great shot as always!
