The busy tram route from the Manchester Hotel , via Lytham Road, to Squires Gate opened in 1895. Passengers had to negotiate a lane of traffic when getting on and off the trams, which ran along the centre of the road. Fortunately there were fewer cars to contend with when the photograph was taken shortly before the route closed in 1961.
