EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the excitement and innovation of Colchester's past as the town celebrated the opening of its new electric tramways on 28th July, 1904. The image, taken from the High Street, showcases the grandeur of the Town Hall and the New Theatre, both of which were popular landmarks in the Essex town. The double-decker, open-top tram, adorned with the banner "Colchester Electric Tramways," is prominently displayed in the foreground, surrounded by onlookers and passengers eager to experience the modern mode of transportation. The tramlines, freshly laid, stretch out towards the horizon, symbolizing the town's progress and commitment to modernization. The photograph was sent on the very day of the opening, making it a unique and valuable document of Colchester's history. This evocative image is a testament to the transformative power of technology and the enduring allure of a bygone era.
