Chapel Ash, Wolverhampton, Early 20th cent. A Wolverhampton Corporation owned tram (No. 20) and horse-drawn vehicles at Chapel Ash. The tram is running on the main Wolverhampton to Tettenhall route. It is effectively advertising local businesses - in this case 'Craddocks' boots. To the left of the image is the spire of St. Mark's Church. To the right of that is the building that would eventually became LLoyds Bank in the 1930s. The image depicts not only the different types of transport around at the time (including the bicycle) but also how the transition began from the old forms of transport in horse-drawn form to the new types of 'horseless' transport in the shape of the tram.
