just come across this article in the Evening Telegraph .
Glimpse of East Lancashire's past uncovered (From Lancashire Telegraph)
In it says the tram service from Blackburn ended at Church Commercial , now my question is? did the the Accrington Trams (like the one in the picture above) operate on a different track gauge ? and was that was why there was no through service from Accrington to Blackburn .
the article also mentions the Blackburn trams had a 'steep' climb up Eanam , seems to me the Accrington trams faced a bigger challenge going up Manchester Rd. which I presume they did ( is/was the Tramway pub not on Manchester Rd.)
thanks
