Tramcar 66 was built for Bolton Corporation by the Electric Railway and Tramway Carriage Works of Preston in 1901. It started life as an open-topped tram though some time later it gained a roof and, later still, enclosed top deck ends but it never did have a windscreen. Toward the end of the Bolton tramway in 1946 the top deck was removed and the lower deck became a summer house, later a chicken coop. After being rescued in 1966, it was fully restored by the Bolton 66 Tramcar Trust who remain its owners. Bolton 66 arrived in Blackpool for a six-month loan in 1981 and – we’re very pleased to say – never left. It remains a firm favourite.
