Leeds 'Feltham' tram No. 553 @ Temple Newsam Terminus

            An old amateur (3" x 3") photograph taken at the Temple Newsam Tram Terminus, of Leeds City Tramways (LCT) 'Feltham' tram No. 553 showing a 'Corn Exchange' destination blind.

Unfortunately there are no details on the photo reverse.

LCT No. 553 was originally London United Tramways (LUT) tram No. 381 built in 1930/31 by the Union Construction Co. in Feltham, Middlesex. It seated 22/42 and ran on EMB maximum traction trucks.

In 1933 LUT was absorbed into the London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB) and the tram was renumbered 2150. During the 'closure cycle' of the LPTB tram system (closing in Jul 1952) a number of 'Feltham' class trams were sold to Leeds.

Leeds received No. 2150 in Apr 1951 where it was stripped, overhauled, repainted in a BET red livery, and renumbered 553, it entered LCT service in the November.

It was withdrawn from service Sep 1957 and burned at Lowfields Road Permanent Way Yard in the November. The parts of the Leeds tramways systems that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to bus operation closed in Nov 1959.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.
