The Sheerness tram network closed 105 years ago. The tram shed became a bus depot and then a furniture sales room, which it still is. I visited yesterday and was amazed to learn the tram tracks are still there under the carpet. #heritage #Sheppey #Sheerness
I was in Sheerness researching my latest book on Monday. I took the opportunity to get a then and now photo. Quite pleased with the results.
