The latest transport release
from Mortons Books Trams & Recollections Edinburgh 1956; explores
the final year of tramway operation in Edinburgh.
The Silver Link book travels
back to 1956 to concentrate exclusively on Edinburgh during that year
comprising solely the camerawork of David and John Clarke. Having previously
looked at the tramway systems in Aberdeen and Dundee, this volume provides great
insight once again into the Scottish public transport of the past.
Offering an in-depth collection in
chronological order, the book provides a nostalgic look at Britain’s transport
heritage, meticulously documenting the tramway system back in July 1956. Each
photograph builds a story that helps both past and current Edinburgh locals, as
well as tourists, visualise Edinburgh’s past and develop a sense of
understanding of the Edinburgh of old.
Not only does the book
provide a journey through time but it also captures the beauty and historical
significance of a transportation system once so essential to the city. A must
have for tramway enthusiasts, and anyone captivated by the history of Edinburgh,
the detailed collection of photographs by David and John Clarke helps to
capture the essence of the city’s streets and the enduring presence of the
trams during their final months of operation.

Recollections Edinburgh 1956 by Henry Conn is available to order for £11.99 from www.mortonsbooks.co.uk
