20 Photos of... Open Top Trams

This special collection is the latest edition of "20 Photos of..." when we take a random theme and then show 20 photos of it. This time with it being the May Day Bnak Holiday weekend and the high hopes of a forthcoming summer of sunny skies and warm days we take a look at 20 images of open top trams in service.

We include photos from across the British Isles from Seaton in the south to Crich in the Midlands, up to Beamish, over to Heaton Park in Manchester, on to Blackpool and then across the Irish Sea to the Isle of Man. Horse trams and electric trams are featured, with single deckers and double deckers also seen. These photos have been taken over the past couple of decades as we sit back and enjoy some of the delightful open toppers we have been able to enjoy over the recent past.

Photographer: Gareth Prior
Photographs were taken between Sunday 10th June 2007 and Saturday 16th September 2023.
