Manchester's Last Tram: A Farewell Journey (1949) This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in Manchester's history as the city's last tram makes its way to the depot, marking the end of an era for public transport in the city. The tram, adorned with bunting and flags, winds its way along the cobblestone streets, its tracks now a relic of the past. A group of people gathered on the pavement wave and cheer, their faces filled with a mix of sadness and nostalgia, as they bid farewell to this iconic mode of transportation. The scene is set against the backdrop of the bustling city, with cars and traffic lining the streets, adding to the sense of change and progress. The tram, with its distinctive design and character, stands out in stark contrast to the modern vehicles that have taken over the roads.
