Old Photograph Nethergate Dundee Scotland

Old photograph of Trams in the Nethergate in Dundee, Scotland. The first municipal public transport in Dundee was operated by Dundee and District Tramways. From 1877, these were generally horse drawn, but by June 1885 steam cars with green and white livery were introduced. Unusually, the tram lines were publicly built. Between 1899 and 1902 the tramways were fully electrified. The first electric tram in Dundee started on 12 July 1900. The route ran from High Street to Ninewells in the West via Nethergate and Perth Road with a later route running to Dryburgh in the North.
