I've got quite a few photos of trams and busses on my hard drive, but can anyone tell me how I can post them on here?

Nice one Joe. Fine little fella you have there.
Smashing photos GD :)
Does anyone know when the trams stopped going along Aigburth road? I've seen a photo of Dingle overhead railway station from April 1955 and Park Road doesn't appear to have any tram lines showing in frame.
Hello Eric
As far as I know, the trams stopped running by the early 1960's. Someone else can give you a better date, I am sure.

The last Liverpool tram ceased on 14 Sep 1957,it left the pier head en route to Bowring Park on route 6A and finished up at return journey at Edge Lane.

Thanks very much for the replies. But I'm after information as regards the last time that a tram travelled along Aigburth road specifically. The final date of the last tram to go along that particular route. I know that various routes closed after the war, but I really would like to know if it was still possible to get tram to Aigburth in April of 1955.
Eric, the last trams ran in Aigburth Road on Saturday 6th June 1953. The tram was route 33 which became the 87 bus.
...and the Aigburth Rd. tracks remained a hazard to cyclists well into the 60's....:)Quote:

Bloody potholes everywhere,yer don't get potholes in cobbled roads,the tram tracks could have been panelled over or tarmac in the gap itself....this then means the tracks can be used anytime in the future again.
But its all down to one thing with roads....it keeps the council workforce in employment.
What was in the council office now?....oh I know lets vlindfold eachother and stick a pin in the map and thats where we will dig our holes for the coming month.

Cheers for that, Greeny.
Kev I know it was liverpool's last tram but did they keep it or did it go like everthing else to the wreakers
There's pics on here of it being hauled onto a ship for America.
Thanks for that Ged silly me I'm getting there I asked the question then went back and spent the next 1.1/2 hrs reading all about it , you & Kev might not realise it but for me & all the other peopls going back in time it's great, from me a personal message THANK YOU
