The 2007 No.7 on Mostyn Broadway crossing Vaughan Streen at Llandudno on Saturday 5th May 2007

1956 - 2026 70 years since the closure of the tramway

The 1936 No.7 on the promenade at Rhos-on-Sea a b/w photo hand coloured by Llandudno Enthusiasts)

A 3'6" gauge electric tramway operated between these two North Wales seaside resorts
via Rhos-on-Sea from October 1907 until March 1956

The aims of the Society are:-
a) to record the history of the tramway
b) to rebuild a replica tram for public display during 2007 (centenary of the opening of the tramway) and to take it to public events in subsequent years
(with the longer-term aim of possibly operating a similar tram or a mini-tran on a demonstration line somewhere in the locality if sufficients funds can be found)

Perhaps you could spare a couple of hours to man the tram or help sell souveniers ?
or do you know someone who you could persuade to sponsor an advert on the tram ?
