DYKE ROAD

When the tramway system operated by Brighton Corporation was extended along Dyke Road, and opened on 27 July 1904, its terminus was just short of Tivoli Crescent, about opposite the house seen at the extreme right. Six years later, in 1910, shelters were provided at various points of the system, one of which is shown in this photograph. It served a useful purpose for many years, for although trams on this route were withdrawn on 26 April 1939, the shelter remained long after buses were introduced. Finally, the rather obstructive building was removed and re-erected some distance down Dyke Road. Date of photographs 10 November 1977. Removed soon afterwards.
