The city of Birmingham possessed the country’s largest 3ft 6in gauge tramway; although the process of conversion to trolleybus or bus operation commenced in the 1920s – indeed Birmingham was the first operator in Britain to see a tram route  converted to trolleybus operation – a significant operation survived into the post-war years and it was not until the summer of 1953 that the final trams operated. This volume focuses on the routes to the south of the city centre – to places like Rednal and Cotteridge – the book provides a graphic reminder that it is not only the historic trams that have been lost but the streetscapes through which many of them operated have also largely disappeared.
