Heritage Tour, North Shore
Ex-Bolton Corporation tramcar no 66 running on a Heritage tram tour along the seafront between Blackpool and Bispham.
Tramcar 66 is an 8-wheeled standard double-decker built for Bolton Corporation by the Electric Railway and Tramway Carriage Company in 1901. The tram was originally an open-topper but was enclosed in 1932 retaining open driver’s platforms. After it was withdrawn from service in 1946 the top deck was removed and the lower saloon became a summer house, later a chicken coop. After being rescued in 1966, it was fully restored by the Bolton 66 Tramcar Trust who remain its owners. Bolton 66 arrived in Blackpool for a six-month loan in 1981 and never left.
