EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken in 1937, captures the Burnley Coronation Tram making its way through the picturesque streets of Burnley, Lancashire, England. The Coronation Tram, adorned with intricate floral decorations and regal banners, was a special tram commissioned to celebrate the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. The image transports us back in time to the early 20th century, evoking the charm and elegance of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The tram, with its open windows and red and cream livery, is a striking contrast against the backdrop of the quaint, cobblestone streets lined with Victorian houses and shops. The lantern slide, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into Burnley's rich history and transport heritage. The tram, which is no longer in operation, is a cherished piece of nostalgia for locals and transport enthusiasts alike. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations. The intricate details of the tram's decorations, the quaintness of the streets, and the overall atmosphere of the photograph are a testament to the beauty and charm of a bygone era. This photograph is not only a fascinating historical document but also a work of art that can be appreciated for its aesthetic value. It is a must-have for anyone with an interest in transportation history, vintage photography, or the history of Burnley and Lancashire.
