on 09 Oct 2013 Gerry Glyde said Brilliant photo, taken around the time the line was first being laid and it looks as if the vehicle arrived before it could go any further. It seems a little odd that they did that. -
on 02 Sep 2017 Melanie Annals said Could the driver of this tram be my Great Grandfather Michael O'Sullivan who I'm told drove the first tram in Hasyings?

on 28 Aug 2018 CLIFF MEWETT said The tram above was like the others towed to Silverhill by a traction engine, which can just be seen to the left. A track down to the tramway depot had already been laid and the trams free wheeled down.
Regarding who drove the first tram in service. This information would be available in the day books kept by the company which were in the possession of the late David Pagham and I believe they are now housed in the East Sussex Records Office. -

on 20 Dec 2020 Albert Grimwood said Yes Henry, it was Apps the clothing store. It looks like the Roxy Cinema site (extreme left of image) not previously occupied.
