Birmingham Trams

Someone on a local site (Telford) has 30 photos of Birmingham Trams that they don't want to throw away, who can I get them sent to? Apparently they tried two museums who weren't interested.

The Washwood Heath single deck cars were a short lived experiment by BCT The cars shown were ex company cars (CBT) and carried BCT numbers 451 and 509. 451 was one or two of the longest cars operated by BCT and was given a top cover in 1924. 509 was converted to a maintenance car in December 1928.

There was a single deck car operating through Camp Hill in the last days of trams in mid 1950's. Always took it to being used to transport BCT staff, it was long after public routes had ceased.

This would be works car PW8, cut down from double decker 266. It was the last operable tram on the system, and the last to be taken away for scrap as it shunted the others into the scrap line at Kyotts Lake Road works. Here it is at Witton; and finally on the scrapman's lorry off to Stratford on Avon where his yard was.
