Blackpool Balloon car, Gynn Square c1962

            An unidentified Blackpool Corporation, Balloon Car passing through Gynn Square travelling towards Uncle Tom's Cabin. Heading towards Pleasure Beach a twin-progress car approaches from the opposite direction; not a warm day judging by the pedestrians attire.

The 1930s built double deck tram carries a mainly cream livery, maybe a little less appealing that the earlier 1950s mainly green livery. In those days the 2xx series fleet number was carried above the platform doors, not on the front panels, so can't be seen from this angle.

The post-top mounted street lighting lanterns were of a GEC design and carried fluorescent lighting tubes. In some cases these were fitted with coloured tubes during the illuminations period.
