EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts a horse-drawn tram in use on North Metropolitan Tramways Route 270, with a number of men occupying the open upper deck. The tram, considerably off its normal route, is making its way along Moorgate Street towards Green Lanes. The building in the background, suggested to be the West Ham Union workhouse, adds an intriguing element to the scene. The North Metropolitan Tramways Company operated horse-drawn trams in London from the late 1800s, providing an essential mode of transportation for the growing urban population. This particular tram, with its open upper deck, offered passengers a unique opportunity to enjoy the fresh air and take in the sights and sounds of the city as they traveled. The image captures a moment in time, with the men on the tram seemingly engrossed in conversation or simply enjoying the ride. The horse, harnessed to the tram, appears calm and focused, pulling the vehicle along the cobblestone streets. The presence of the workhouse in the background serves as a reminder of the social and economic conditions of the time, with many people relying on institutions like this for support. Despite the challenging circumstances, the photograph exudes a sense of community and camaraderie, as people went about their daily lives in this bustling metropolis. The exact date of this photograph is unknown, adding to its mystery and allure. Nonetheless, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the horse-drawn trams that once dominated the streets of London and the everyday experiences of its residents.
