A SHORT HISTORY OF THE NEWCASTLE TRAMWAY SYSTEM

###################################################################### The following Six pages contain a brief history of the Newcastle Tramway System, which commenced in 1887 and finished in 1950.

These pages contain some text and images of trams that were used on the Newcastle network. Please do not be too critical of the quality of the images as most photos were taken by amatuer photographers with basic camera equipment of that era.

Captions for images will be placed on pages in the next few weeks, as well as more text, particularly, regarding the closing of the tramway.
