Description:The last tram in Ladywood ran on 30 August 1947, and everyone hangs out of the windows to be photographed on this historic occasion. The tram was on the 33 route which ran from its Navigation Street terminus up Holloway Head via Five Ways, Ladywood Road and Icknield Port Road to Dudley Road. At two and a half miles it was by no means the longest of Birmingham's tram routes. The 95 bus took over the service after the demise of the tram.
