Royston Morris’ vibrant images feature those tramcars that have been preserved (in one form or another) and can be seen across Britain.
The earliest tramcars were horse-drawn and originated during the Victorian era, a large portion of them eventually being replaced with electric vehicles (which themselves were phased out or replaced by trolleybuses). A number of these tramcars have been restored and preserved and continue to be run by museums all around the world, with a fairly significant number based in Britain. Several tramcar bodies were sold to farmers and other individuals when the systems they were running on closed down. These bodies were used for a variety of purposes – chicken houses, lambing pens and houses/holiday homes. A large number have since been recovered and restored and in many cases have been returned to their original condition and are running once again on heritage sites.

Royston Morris’ interest in railways began when he was 12 years old, while on a holiday to Dawlish. Before long he was hooked, and his interest endures more than forty years later.
