There must be many who recall with nostalgia the elecric tramway systems of South and South-East England. Memories of the earlier days can be many and varied - from the grind of a car at full power up a hill or possible the motion of a fast run along a reserved section of track. Others may recall the familiar clang of a gong to alert traffic in a tram's path or perhaps a time when a conductor might shout 'All Change' at a terminus and then crash the seat backs forward to face a new direction. In this excellently, written and researched book, LESLIE OPPITZ tells the story of Kent's golden age of trams. Modern photographs accompany those taken when the tramways were busy and at their peak. There are also notes for those who wish to explore some of the relics that have survived.
