Steam trams, Burnley Centre 1890

Place

Burnley

General notes

Burnley's early steam trams were introduced in September 1881 and in their early days the original licence for use did not allow use of steam in Church St., and several prosecutions for steam emission led to the entire use of horses for some time. Here we can see one with trailer tram-car in the town centre of 1890.
