EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the last horse-drawn tram making its way back to its depot in Hull, circa 1900. The horse, harnessed to the tram, appears determined as it pulls the vintage vehicle along the cobblestone streets, leaving a trail of dust in its wake. The passengers inside the tram seem to be lost in thought, perhaps reflecting on the changing times and the impending arrival of the motorized trams that would soon replace this traditional mode of transportation. The horse-drawn tram had been a familiar sight on the streets of Hull for several decades, providing an essential service to the community. But as the new century dawned, the horse-drawn trams began to fade away, making way for more modern forms of transportation. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when horses were the primary power source for public transport. The tram depot, which can be seen in the background, looms large in the scene, a symbol of the end of an era. The red brick building, with its tall chimney stack, stands in stark contrast to the horse and tram, highlighting the contrast between the old and the new. This image offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when horses were the engine of progress. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving history and celebrating the evolution of technology, even as we look forward to the future.
