There\u2019s a queue of people waiting to board <strong>1389<\/strong> with the lady at the back of the line seemingly intrigued by the fact that someone is taking a photo of what is probably to her just an everyday occurrence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1389<\/strong> was one of 100 Cunarder trams built in their own workshops between 1948 and 1952. It survived until the final year but would not be lucky enough to enter preservation and in fact only two of the class would do. They were <strong>1297<\/strong> (Crich) and <strong>1392<\/strong> (Riverside).<\/p>\n<p>As well as the tram this is another image which gives so much social history. From the cars of the period lining the side of the streets to the fashions of the day as well as businesses, many of which are now but distant memories.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_55290\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/1389-ts.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-55290\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-55290\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/1389-ts-550x367.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/1389-ts-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/1389-ts-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/1389-ts.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-55290\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photograph by Tony Stevenson, 1962<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A second image from the last year of Glasgow Corporation Tramways features in this week\u2019s \u201cPicture in Time\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[35],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55289"}],"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=55289"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55289\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":55291,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55289\/revisions\/55291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=55289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=55289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=55289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
