In the mid 1930s, the Manchester Corporation tried to make the passengers for trams enter
In the mid 1930s, the Manchester Corporation tried to make the passengers for trams enter the vehicles in an orderly queue. Rails were placed at the stops, but as this picture shows, the Manchester public were having none of it. But that independent spirit was changed later when the discipline of war made rules and regulations more strict. Albert Square, Manchester. Circa 1935

EDITORS COMMENTS
In the mid 1930s, the Manchester Corporation attempted to instill order and discipline among tram passengers by implementing a new system of orderly queues. Rails were strategically placed at stops to guide passengers, but as captured in this intriguing photo print, it seems that the spirited people of Manchester had other ideas. Their independent nature prevailed over conformity. Taken in Albert Square, circa 1935, this snapshot showcases a defiant crowd defying the Corporation's attempts at control. The men and women depicted here stand haphazardly around the tram entrance, disregarding any notion of queuing up properly. Their fashion choices reflect the era with coats and hats adorning their figures. However, as history unfolded and World War II brought about stricter rules and regulations across all aspects of life, even Manchester's rebellious spirit succumbed to discipline. This image serves as a reminder of a time when individuality triumphed over conformity before external circumstances reshaped societal norms. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints staff members for future generations to appreciate, this photograph offers a glimpse into an era where public transportation was not only about getting from point A to B but also reflected the unique character of its passengers.
