I think the picture is miss-titled. The no 32 tram went down Lodge road, then Foundry road and the tracks finished just past the end of foundry road in Victoria St, as seen on the map below. The route finished in 1947. This would make the pub the Railway Inn , listed as on Wellington St on the corner of victoria st. On the present day view the bridge looks similar at https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=vi...noid=5ZwRlAtbteeZNNkDziUVGA&cbp=12,88.95,,0,0 .

If you GE it and use the time scale for 1999 you can see the pub.

The 32 was always kinow as the Lodge Road tram although it went on further to terminate in Victoria Street inside the triangle of railway lines which make up the Soho junctions. The was one of the routes which had trams with bow collectors instead of trolley poles.
