London Trams: construction of a conduit tramway

Comments/corrections to: Dewi Williams

This shows the details of construction of what were probably the last new conduit tram/streetcar tracks ever built. This was in preparation for the Festival of Britain, 1951. The Festival commemorated the first Worlds Fair ever, the Great Exhibition of 1851.
