For some strange reason I never got up the Lickeys till I was in my teens.
My mum has told me she went often as a girl with a bottle of tea and if lucky some bread and jam or dripping.

THE LICKEY HILLS WERE OUR MECCA WHEN WE WERE KIDS WE COULD'NT AFFORD HOLIDAYS. JUST THE OCCASIONAL DAY TRIP TO THE SEASIDE.

From Ryde Park Rd, you could have got there quicker pushing a steam roller than by tram.

Fred,
The two of us from our class - what a team eh, we'd have got ''really rocking'' down the Bristol Rd - do you remember how they went - brilliant, there is NO sensation like a rocking tram racing along, is there?

Tramp and everyone,
Swansea had a tram until January 1960 but it was called the Swansea and Mumbles train there is one of them in the museum in Swansea i had a look at it about 4 weeks ago it looks like a new one.
