Hi there
I run a web site dedicated to British Tramway Company Uniforms Buttons and Badges (https://www.birches.plus.com), and am currently creating entries for each of the pre-corporation Birmingham tramway systems (e.g. Birmingham Central Tramways). I'm slowly working my through various photos I've accumulated, but could do with a few more photos to really build an understanding of what uniforms were worn (some companies didn't issue them at all) and how they changed over the years. The photographic record in respect of the horse trams (especially the earlier years) is particularly sparse. So, if anyone has any photos of the horse, steam and cable tramways showing tramwaymen (conductors, drivers, inspectors), that you would be happy for me to use on my web site (it's a hobby), please do let me know. Studio photos of individual tramwaymen would be brilliant, but they are alas somewhat of a rarity! The main systems were:
- Birmingham and Midland Tramways Company (1885-1904)
- Birmingham and Aston Tramways Company (1882-1904)
- Birmingham and District Tramways Company (1872-1885)
- Birmingham Central Tramways Company (1884-1896)
- City of Birmingham Tramways Company (1896-1912)
Hope to hear from someone who can help.
Regards, Ashley (High Peak)
