Old street pics..

My eyes were drawn to the legs of the bench. In Cov they had some nice contemporary benches oppoite where I worked, of course they are gone now. Their legs were done in the shape of a horse. They all looked well wrapped up and turned out.

Is this a trolley bus as apposed to a tram. I know trolley buses didn't run on rails. They had them in Southsea. I remember sining Good King Wenseslas looked out in a Mini Minor, bumped in to a trolley bus and landed up in China, Good King Wenselas looked out, IN an Austin Seven, Bumped into a trolley bus and landed up in heaven, Standard Eight, gate etc. Also what was Chunky? As on the bus/tram? Note the height of the sign on the left. Anything under head height would be vandalised now.

This is a tram not a trolley bus. A tram runs on rails a trolley bus runs on rubber tyres. A trolley bus has two trolley arms whereas a tram has only one or a bow collector like the tram in the picture 2390 or a pantagraph on a modern tram. The sign at the side of the road is a temporary bus or tram stop.
