Bradford tram No. 80 - a photo on Flickriver

An old photograph of Bradford Corporation Passenger Transport (BCPT) tram No. 80 showing '11 - Bowling Old Lane' destination blinds, the 'Bowling Old Lane' route was converted to buses in Dec 1947. Behind the car is a poster advertising 'Where There's Life' starring Bob Hope which was released in 1947.

The photo reverse is initialled by the photographer and negative owner 'ADP' (A. D. Packer - David Packer).

Thanks to Paul Haywood for this:-
"Fred, this is seen at the Bowling Old Lane terminus, with Parsonage Road behind the car. It is about to enter the single spur to change directions before heading back to town. Both buildings behind the tram still exist and are recognisable today on Google Maps."

This was the third car to carry No. 80, being built in 1928 by BCPT as a extra low height balcony car for the Greengates route, it seated 19/37 and ran on a Dick Kerr 21E truck.

In early 1950 it was withdrawn from service, the parts of the Bradford tramways system that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to trolleybus/bus operation closing in May of that year.

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