Horse tram No. 151 & horse bus in colour

My hand *colourised (if you want to use it please credit me and link to this description) version of an old photograph of London Tramways Co. horse tram No. 151 and horse bus, by the 'Plough Inn', Clapham in the mid 1890s.

The tram back destination board shows 'Tooting & Waterloo Statn', the upper side board 'Tooting & Balham', and the lower long side board 'Clapham Common - Stockwell - Elephant & Waterloo Station'. Annotated on the reverse is "Bus route 22. Camberwell Green & Clapham via Loughborough Junction, Brixton Church & Acre Lane".

The 'Metropolitan Street Tramways' (MST) had started horse tram/bus operation in May 1870, their tram line getting to the 'Plough Inn' a year later. In 1874 the London Tramways Co. took over the MST and the 'Pimlico, Peckham & Greenwich Street Tramway Co.'. They were in turn bought by London County Council Tramways who commenced services on 01 Jan 1899, converting the line to electric in May 1903.

There is no photographer name on the reverse, if anyone knows who took the photo please let me know and I will credit them.

* My coloured images are more sketch or watercolour like than colour transparency or print like. They are an impression of that subject and period, rather than an accurate representation of how the image/subject actually looked when the photo was taken.

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