Another tram, long withdrawn and now used for a different purpose can be seen at the Blists Hill Victorian Town. Birmingham and Midlands Tramway 12 has been a long-time resident at the museum (in fact its been there longer than it was in service!).
12 was built as a double decker in 1904 for the Birmingham and Midlands Tramway by Brush. As with the majority of tramways across the Black Country it was a 3’6” gauge tramway, surviving until 1939. Information suggests it was withdrawn by 1928 and converted into a Sunday School but its not known exactly when it moved to Blists Hill, but was certainly there by the 1970s.
Originally painted green at the museum, it subsequently received a coat of dark red paint which as seen in this view has now started to peel. Its got “GOSPEL CAR & SUNDAY SCHOOL” written on the side panels. (Photograph by Dave Bickley, 16th May 2024)
