Plymouth transport through time

With today's constant stream of busy traffic, it's hard to imagine a time when Plymouth had no cars, lorries or buses.

With the dawn of photography, the only vehicles in the area would have been horse-drawn wagons or hand-carts and the occasional bicycle.

Horse-drawn trams were introduced in the later 1800s and, with the introduction of the railway, it became far easier for people to travel further afield.
