Putting up tram wires
What we know about this image :
Like other tramway operators, the Hartlepool Electric Tramways Co. needed a tower wagon to permit work on the overhead wiring. An example is seen here in a deserted Church Street – possibly on a Sunday morning before the start of service. A horse was stabled at the Greenland depot to draw the tower wagon and for other purposes. Christ Church can be seen in the centre of the image. On the right a new National Provincial bank is under construction, the old one having been demolished on the same site.
