I have 7 tickets dated July 1952 that my mum kept all these years. We lived in Upton Park road E7 until 1961 when we moved to the countryside. On the back of the tickets it has 2 photos of trams. The first photo is of a horse-drawn tram dated March 1861, the second photo is of an electric tram dated July 1952.Ray Binninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280194627593407589noreply@blogger.com
