The sheds at Derby Castle have been in this location since the line opened and by 1977 the buildings were starting to show their age. However, it would be some time before they received any significant attention with the structures being demolished and rebuilt from 1999.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the sheds on this day we see two trams \u2013 both of which are in the operational fleet today. Closest to the camera is 1898 built <strong>Crossbench 16<\/strong> whilst across the far side we see <strong>Tunnel Car 7<\/strong> (four years older as it dates from 1894). Of the two cars <strong>7<\/strong> looks the less recognisable today as it is now in the Blue and Ivory livery whilst <strong>16<\/strong> is once again in a similar livery style to this having spent some time in green.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_47036\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=47036\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-47036\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47036\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-47036\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/167-db-550x367.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/167-db-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/167-db-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/167-db-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/167-db.jpg 1245w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-47036\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photograph by Donald Brooks, 4th June 1977<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Its time for another instalment of \u201cPicture in Time\u201d as we stay on the Isle of Man for another June 1977 image.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[26,35],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47035"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=47035"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47035\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":47037,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47035\/revisions\/47037"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=47035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=47035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=47035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
