Going further back in time and this photo shows Belfast Street Tramway 118 – a horse tram built in c1897. As with 249, 118 was converted to electric operation but following withdrawal was sold off for further use. Its thought this tram went off to be a summer house in County Monaghan but it was soon rescued and after being placed on a chassis from a works vehicle in Sandy Row Depot was presented to Belfast Transport Museum in 1963. Its now displayed in 1905 Red and Cream livery and has the ubiquitous fake horse to show that it was a horse tram!
