Description:This photograph shows the inauguration of the first tram service to reach Newcastle. The service was run by the Potteries Electric Traction Company. All of the companies tram's were single-deckers, like the ones in the photograph, because of the many low bridges in the area. Services ran from Newcastle to Burslem, Chesterton, Hanley, Silverdale, and Wolstanton. Trams were a popular form of transport until 1928 when they were superseded by the bus service. The Municipal Hall can be seen near the bottom of the Ironmarket on the left hand side. Bayley and Son can just be seen on the left hand side of the street, which was a confectioners, and tea rooms.
