Leeds tram No. 375 @ Lowfields Rd. scrapyard Jul 1952

An old photograph of Leeds City Tramways (LCT) 'Beeston Air Brake' car No. 375 being broken up at Lowfields Road Permanent Way Yard prior to the remains being burned in July 1952.

A photo of No. 375 taken at Chapel Allerton is here:-

The photo reverse is annotated with "Leeds 375 in scrapyard 1952", and stamped with the photographer (and/or negative owner) name of Robert F. Mack (Bob Mack).

No. 375 was built as a fully enclosed car built at the LCT Kirkstall Road Works seating 24/46 and running on a 4-wheel Peckham P22 truck. It first went into service Mar 1924, was the last car built with 'reversed stairs', and had an EMB air brake fitted in Oct 1926. It was last in service Jun 1952 and the following month was burned at Lowfields Road Permanent Way Yard.

The parts of the Leeds tramways systems that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to bus operation closed in Nov 1959.

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