Tram Crash in Woolwich, London: An Unforgettable Morning in 1946 This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of a tragic tram accident that occurred on the early morning of Thursday, 18th April 1946, in Woolwich, London. The scene shows the derailed tram, number 72, which had veered off the tracks and crashed into the front of the Co-op Pharmacy located at 75 Woolwich New Road. The impact was significant, causing extensive damage to the pharmacy and the shop fronts on either side. The tram, a workmen's service designed for early commuters, had been making its way through the bustling streets of Woolwich when, for reasons unknown, it derailed and collided with the building. The incident resulted in injuries for the driver, the conductor, and four passengers. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a tangible reminder of the daily challenges and risks associated with public transportation during the post-war era. The damage to the shops and the tram itself underscores the power and unpredictability of the machines that once formed the backbone of London's transportation network. As we view this image, we are transported back in time, experiencing the sense of disbelief and shock that must have gripped the community that day. The photograph stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of Londoners, who continued to rely on public transportation despite the occasional setbacks and mishaps.
