EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Moss Side, Manchester in the 1930s. The image captures a moment in time when the iconic 35B tram to Stockport glides down Upper Lloyd Street, surrounded by terraced houses and gas lamps that illuminate the scene. It is a snapshot of an era defined by its unique blend of modern transport and traditional street lighting. The tram itself stands as a symbol of reliable transportation during this period, with its overhead cables connecting it to power sources along the route. Its presence on Upper Lloyd Street signifies convenience for commuters traveling between Moss Side and Stockport. The surrounding terrace houses provide a glimpse into everyday life in this vibrant neighborhood. These modest homes were likely filled with families going about their daily routines, while outside their windows, they could witness the constant movement of trams transporting people across town. The inclusion of both tram lamps and gas lamps adds an interesting contrast to the composition. While electric-powered lighting was becoming more prevalent at this time, gas lamps still held their place on these streets, casting warm pools of light onto the pavement below. Through this evocative photograph taken on March 2nd, 1934, we are transported back in time to experience a small slice of Manchester's history – where transportation met architecture amidst changing times.
