Old Photograph Horse Drawn Tram Aberdeen
Old photograph of a Horse Drawn Tram in Aberdeen, Scotland. From the 1860s, the City of Aberdeen and its immediate suburbs were served by horse bus services including Market Street to Bieldside, the Mill Inn and Murtle, to Woodside, Bucksburn and Stoneywood, and from Queen's Cross to Old Aberdeen via Union Street and King Street. One of the best known of the horse bus operators was William Bain who operated for a time from the Old Waterhouse on Union Place. His buses served a number of districts including Gallowgate, Old Aberdeen, King Street, Rosemount, Skene Square, Carden Place, College Street and Marywell Street.
