Blackpool Tram 59. This is the sole survivor of the Dreadnought class, built in about 1900 or 1901 - that depends on which source of information you use.
She's seen inside the tram shed acting as a ladder support during repairs to the building in September 1976. Just think, almost 50 years on, the roof is said to be in desperate need of repair again, and the old trams are not accessible!
