}}Wolverhampton Tramways Company operated a tramway service in Wolverhampton between 1878 and 1900.[1]

History

The Wolverhampton Tramways Order of 1877 authorised the Wolverhampton Tramways Company to construct a horse-drawn tramway in Wolverhampton.

The company developed three routes from Queen Street in Wolverhampton

  • Tettenhall
  • Willenhall
  • Bilston and Moxley.

In 1881 the company ran a steam tram built by Hughes's Locomotive & Tramway Engine Works of Loughborough, but this experiment was abandoned in the same year.

Tram 23. Built in 1892 for the Wolverhampton Corporation Tramways Company, this horse-drawn tram operated on the Queens Square to Tettenhall route. Pulled by two horses on standard gauge track it could carry 44 passengers. With the introduction of electric trams it was withdrawn from service and sold for use as a garden shelter. Acquired by the Black Country Living Museum in 1973.

Closure

On 1 May 1900, Wolverhampton Corporation purchased those sections of the tramway that lay within its boundary and services were modernised as Wolverhampton Corporation Tramways.
