Sorry everyone, I had completley forgotten about asking this question.
The date would have been around Jan/Feb 1946 ----- or maybe 1947.
As only one member asked when it was, and the thread has been open for ages because I forgot about it, I've no doubt that most have you have lost interest --- so I'll tell you.
Avery,very hard winter, frost day and night. Eventually all the elect cables came down and there was no electricity for around a week. But, unfortunately, as the elec was cut off one of the long two compartment single deck trams was passing, and came to rest right across the top of Station Road, and all attempts to move it came to nothing.
