            An old photograph (just 3.5" x 2.5") of Salford Corporation Tramways (SCT) car No. 222 showing '81 - Deansgate - New Bailey St' destination indicators. Route 81 was converted from trams to buses in Nov 1945.

Thanks to Thomas West via facebook for the tram location - "Picture is the top of Broad Street, Pendleton. Junction with Bolton Road and Eccles Old Road. Salford".

I am not sure if it is a cut down (using blunt scissors!) photo or postcard. If it is a postcard there are no marks showing on the rear that would normally be on a postcard reverse.

No. 222 was built by Brush in 1916 with driver vestibules and open top body seating 32/49 and running on Brill 61E maximum traction bogies. It was built as open top for the low bridges on the Worsley - Whitefield route but was taken off the route when fitted with an enclosed top cover in 1923. It was officially withdrawn from service on 08 May 1947, a few months after the system closed, the cars remaining after closure were stripped of useful parts during April/May and then went to Hyde Road to be scrapped. The parts of the Salford tramways systems that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to bus operation had closed on 31 Mar 1947.

If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. Thanks.
