Picture TR1 The Hard No.246 on its last day in service, Saturday 22 June 1963. |
Picture TR2 The wiring layout at Fratton Bridge on 23 September 1962,
before it was simplified. Definitely not a picture for the faint-hearted or sensitive aesthetes! |
Picture TR3 No.307 at the most northerly point on the system [Cosham] on Sunday
30 December 1962, after 14 inches [355mm] of snowfall. |
Picture TR4 No.304 crossing Guildhall Square 1 January 1963 after another 115mm
of snow had fallen. |
Picture TR5 No.233 is making the U-turn, but this was rather special, as
Friday 21 June 1963 was the last time any trolleybus would turn here, as
the 17/18 service would come off the following day, and with it, trolleybus No.233. |
Picture TR6 The U-turn completed, No.233
is now stuck in traffic at the junction of Park Road and Guildhall Square. [Friday 21 June 1963]. |
Picture TR7 No.233 and No.300 in Park Road near the Guildhall on the gloomy
Wednesday 13 February 1963. No.233 is overtaking No.300, which has dropped its
booms to let it pass: No.300 would subsequently make a U-turn on the Park Road short-working. |
Picture TR8 No.246 and No.248 at a scrap yard near Portsmouth gasworks on Monday
9 September 1963. Today the trolleybuses, dog, scrap yard and even the [coal] gasworks are all long gone. |
Picture TR9 No.315 in Western Parade, bouncing over long-abandoned tram tracks
and passing a Southdown PD3 bus. It was taken on Tuesday 23 July 1963. |
Picture TR12 283 in Highland Road, Eastney,
on 6 April 62. |
Picture TR10
#258 [RV9109] Withdrawn in October 1952 and later sold to the City of Bristol Transport & Cleansing Department and converted to a mobile
Ladies Convenience. Photographed on 29 April 1965 at Merchants Row. |
Picture TR11 Trolleys 231 and 282 [behind] at Southern Counties Demolition, at Hilsea near the former
Portsmouth Airport on 7 April 1964. |
Picture 31 Taken on Southsea Terrace when tram tracks still remained in place.
The trolleybus is a BUT/Burlingham vehicle and appears to be 310. This picture is just around the corner from
my own image on Western Parade [also with tracks in situ]. The scene remains almost unchanged today, save that
trolley wires, tram rails and the splendid bus shelter have all gone, although the last-mentioned may be one
that has merely been moved to a site on the seafront, less than half a mile away. |
Picture 35 Two westbound trolleybuses, led by EE/AEC/Cravens vehicle 282 on Park
Road near its junction with St. George's Road. This scene has hardly altered, although the naval shore
establishment HMS Vernon [behind the photographer] is now the Gunwharf Quays discount shopping centre. |
Picture 43 BUT/Burlingham trolleybus 315 at Cosham Red Lion terminus. No 315 was
the newest trolleybus built for Portsmouth. |
Picture 47 Also taken at Cosham Red Lion, BUT/Burlingham trolleybus 312. |
