Retaining its side destination blinds the tram was once a four wheel double decker which had been constructed in 1920. As with so many tram finds only the lower deck now survives.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=41081\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-41081\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-41081\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4442-dm-550x367.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4442-dm-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4442-dm-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4442-dm.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_41082\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=41082\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-41082\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41082\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-41082\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/5.442-dm-550x367.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/5.442-dm-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/5.442-dm-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/5.442-dm.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-41082\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Also at the museum is 442 which is used to display small exhibits at the museum.
