Longford & Exhall: lnwr_le1482b
Close up of image 'lnwr_le1482' showing the sign warning
passengers on the open top tram cars to remain seated whilst passing under the
bridge. The overhead power lines which carried the electricity to the trams
were supported in various ways. The methods varied according to the width of
the roads and pavements, the cost of development of the route and possibly the
strength of local feelings. Along Longford Road a taut wire - the span wire -
was stretched between poles erected on eitherside of the road and often at
first glance mistaken for lampposts.
