EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage print of a tram on High Street in Gillingham from the early 1900s. The bustling street is lined with Victorian and Edwardian buildings, giving us a glimpse into the past when horse-drawn carriages shared the road with these new-fangled electric trams. The tram itself is a marvel of engineering for its time, with its sleek design and open-air seating. Passengers can be seen boarding and disembarking, dressed in their finest attire of the era. The conductor stands at the front, ready to collect fares and ensure a smooth journey through town. The lantern slide quality of this image adds to its charm, capturing the essence of a bygone era where life moved at a slower pace. It's easy to imagine the sounds of clanging bells and chatter as people went about their daily business along High Street. As we look at this snapshot from history, we are reminded of how much has changed since those early days of public transportation. Yet, there is also a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when trams like this one were an exciting mode of travel that connected communities and brought people together. This print from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection is truly a treasure trove for anyone interested in local history or transportation enthusiasts looking to explore Gillingham's past.
