Date:Not Recorded

Description:Whilst the soundscape of trams moving along Birmingham streets ceased in 1953, this distinctive recording was a notable feature of the ‘tram room’ at Birmingham Science Museum for almost fifty years more. Now digitally restored, it once again evokes a crucial element in Birmingham’s social and technical history.
