Blackpool Trams Part 2

Using a rich mix of archival footage, this DVD recounts the full story of Blackpool's trams from the closure of the Marton route in October 1962 to the arrival of the first new tram for over 30 years in April 1984. Much period atmosphere - road vehicles, buses, street furniture, fashions and entertainments. In the early 1960's, Blackpool closed its town tram routes, leaving just its world-famous Promenade line and for some time even this seemed threatened with total closure. This is an evocative selection of colour films depicting Blackpool's trams during the period 1962-84 with all types in action.
